Thailand top schools likely to use new management model
Top schools will likely adopt new management model next year
The Education Ministry is hoping to introduce a new management model to three of the country's best schools next year.
The schools are Suan Kularb Wittayalai, Triam Udom Suksa and Samsen Wittayalai.
"We have invited the executives of these schools for a discussion," Dr Somkiat Chobphol said in a recent interview as the deputy secretary general of the Office of Basic Education Commission (Obec).
Education Minister Wijit Srisaarn said the new model, "SchoolBased Management", would give these executives a freer hand in running their schools.
"They can issue their own policies," he said.
Deputy Education Minister Varakorn Samkoses explained the schools would become like public organisations with the right to set their own guidelines about how to recruit their teaching staff and their students.
