Summary
 

As Thai population structure has changed into the elder society, it is important to reform the national education system since workforce will drop and less students will get involved into the formal education. Students and businesses of this generation also focus more on skills than the degree. Lesson learnt from developed countries reveal that it is necessary to push forward the followings:

  • Online courses (MOOCs)
  • Individual Programs
  • Skill-based Programs
  • Build up entrepreneurship
  • Prioritize broad knowledge over focussed knowledge
  • Support life-long employability (not life-long employment)
  • Integration of knowledge across disciplines
