On 5 May, Mr. Sanont Wangsaengboon (Deputy Governor of Bangkok) organized a meeting of the steering committee for the Development of Education and Technology at the Chumchon Moobaan Pattana School. The meeting was convened under the auspices of the Klong Toey District Participatory Development Committee, with Khru Prateep (Chairperson of Education and Technology) and committee members exchanging ideas on development approaches. One idea of Khru Prateep is for local international schools to provide short-term training for new English language teachers, who can then improve the English language skills of children and youths in the Klong Toey area, increase their confidence in communication, and open opportunities for broader learning. In this respect, the DPF is collaborating with the NIST International School. We aim to prepare our students to become true “global citizens” in a world where communication in a single language may not be sufficient for life in the future.
Thank you to all participants in this innovative project: the Director of Klong Toey District Office, Chumchon Moobaan Pattana School, Dr. Kannika Leelapanyalert (Deputy School Director of NIST), representatives from Loxley Public Co. Ltd., the Senior Professional Educational Supervisor (Klong Toey District) and four Educational Institutes in Klong Toey District.
