With its need for a more skilled and technology-oriented workforce, the technological revolution is reshaping the labour market across the world. Building on its remarkable progress in expanding access to education among the population, the Thai government is now focusing on upgrading the country’s human resource skills to meet these new demands from the business world of today and tomorrow.
The exponential pace of technological change in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) presents a great challenge for Thailand and its ambitions of driving forward economic transformation to be more oriented towards high technology. In response to this challenge, the Thai government is implementing comprehensive reforms to the educational system with the aim of ensuring the country’s human resources are able not only to keep pace with the new technology but also to deliver their own R&D and innovations.
