Globestar Edutech

Globestar Edutech Pvt Ltd, a premier education advisory firm, has been actively working to bridge the gap between local schools and international best practices, enabling Thai students to access world-class learning experiences. In an exclusive discussion, Mr. Dhaval Mehta, CEO of Globestar, and Mr. Jaijanok Thavisri, Associate Business Head with a background in law and international education, share their insights on how Thailand is positioning itself as a global education destination.

The Evolving Landscape of International Education in Thailand

Thailand’s education sector has witnessed a paradigm shift in recent years. Traditionally, international education was confined to a few elite schools catering primarily to expatriates. However, there is now a growing demand among Thai families for globally recognised curricula, such as the IB (International Baccalaureate), IGCSE, A-Levels, and Advanced Placement (AP) programs.

Highlights the growing enthusiasm among Thai students to master the English language:

"The enthusiasm for international education in Thailand is evident. Students are eager to embrace global learning approaches, and parents are ready to invest heavily in quality education to prepare their children for top universities worldwide."

The Rise of International Schools

Thailand is home to one of the largest international school markets in Southeast Asia, particularly in cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. Several factors contribute to this growth:

Expanding Middle-Class Aspirations:

More Thai families are opting for international curricula such as IB, Cambridge IGCSE, and American AP programs to provide their children with a competitive edge in global education.

Thriving Expatriate Community:

With Thailand being a major destination for foreign businesses and diplomatic missions, international schools cater to a diverse student base from around the world.

Government Support for International Education:

Policies allowing foreign investment in the education sector and greater autonomy for private institutions have facilitated the expansion of high-quality international schools.

Strategic Collaborations:

Thai schools are increasingly partnering with global education providers to offer dual-degree programs and enhance academic standards.

Aspirations

More Thai students are seeking higher education opportunities abroad, particularly in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and Europe. This has driven the demand for international curricula, which provide a seamless pathway to top universities.

Mr. Jaijanok Thavisri highlights the importance of structured guidance in this journey:

“Schools must integrate strong career counseling frameworks to help students navigate the competitive university admissions process. Internationalisation should not be limited to curriculum changes but must extend to holistic student development.”

Government Policies & Education Reforms

The Thai government has also played a crucial role in promoting international education by:

• Expanding the licensing of international and bilingual schools

• Encouraging STEM and innovation-driven education

• Partnering with foreign institutions for exchange programs and dual-degree opportunities

These efforts align with Thailand’s Thailand 4.0 policy, which focuses on transforming the country into a knowledge-based economy.

The integration of technology in education has accelerated the Internationalizations process. Schools are adopting AI-powered learning tools, online test prep platforms, and hybrid learning models to ensure students are competitive on a global scale.

“Technology has removed geographical barriers to quality education. Thai schools are leveraging AI-driven analytics, virtual classrooms, and global mentorship programs to enhance learning experiences,” says Mr. Dhaval Mehta.

Digitalisation and EdTech Innovations

According to Mr. Dhaval Mehta, this shift reflects Thailand’s ambition to align its education system with global standards.

“We are seeing a clear trend of Thai schools integrating international curricula and adopting holistic learning approaches. Parents and students are increasingly prioritising skills-based education, preparing for global university admissions and career mobility,”

Internationalization of Education in Thailand

Beyond the growth of international schools, Thailand’s education system is undergoing a broader Internationalizations, encompassing curriculum innovation, global student mobility, and institutional partnerships. Key trends include:

Bilingual and Multilingual Education:

English proficiency is a priority, with many institutions offering bilingual programs to enhance students’ global competitiveness.

Adoption of International Curricula:

Many Thai schools are incorporating globally recognized programs to foster cross-cultural understanding and academic excellence.

Technology-Driven Learning:

Digital tools, hybrid learning models, and AI-powered education solutions are playing an increasingly significant role in Thailand’s international education sector.

Pathways to Global Universities:

Thailand’s international schools and universities collaborate with global institutions, providing students with seamless transitions to higher education abroad.

Challenges in Internationalizations

Despite these advancements, Thai schools face challenges in fully embracing international education:

• Teacher Training & Recruitment: A shortage of educators trained in international curricula.

• Affordability & Accessibility: International education remains expensive for many families.

• Regulatory Hurdles: Schools must navigate licensing complexities for foreign curricula.

Addressing these challenges requires collaboration between schools, policymakers, and education service providers.

Observes the increasing number of Thai students choosing to study abroad:

"More Thai students are pursuing international degrees, bringing back global knowledge and expertise to contribute to Thailand’s economy and innovation ecosystem.
