EDUCATION AND TRAINING

• VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET) PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE

IN THE THAI EDUCATION SYSTEM. THE THAI GOVERNMENT HAS SET
AMBITIOUS TARGETS FOR INCREASING THE SHARE OF STUDENTS IN VET, IN
RECOGNITION THAT VET CAN DEVELOP THE SKILLS THAT THE ECONOMY
NEEDS. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING IS CATEGORIZED BY A
NUMBER OF OVER-ARCHING TENDENCIES, INCLUDING THE GROWING USE
OF TECHNOLOGY, THE RISING IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION AND
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, AND CHANGES TO NATIONAL DEMOGRAPHICS.
