The school curriculum in Thailand will be revised to focus more on the Thai language, civic education and Thai history, with increased mother-tongue support for Thai students in international schools as well.

“This curriculum change is not intended to reduce content but to increase depth and meaning … so that students will understand their roots and can step forward with confidence,” said Yodchanan Wongsawat, minister of higher education, science, research and innovation.
