Scientist House celebrates 15 years: Future of education in Thailand!
October 22, 2023 was a significant date for education in Thailand as the 15th anniversary of the Scientist House Conference Thailand was celebrated. Under the leadership of Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, numerous experts and educators gathered at Srinakharinwirot University. The conference had the agenda to promote learning and development of the popular “House of Little Scientists” project, such as mgronline reported.
The event attracted over 300 professionals and included special lectures from international experts such as Dr. Tobias Ernst from Germany and Prof. Dr. Ching Ting Hsin from Taiwan. A total of 92 research papers were presented over the two days in four subject areas, ranging from project management to early childhood education. Panel discussions on sustainable development and cultural relevance in early STEM education were also held on October 23rd.
A look at the project's successes
The “House of Little Scientists” has made impressive progress since its founding. Over the past 15 years, more than 27,366 preschool institutions and over 16,872 primary schools in Thailand have benefited from this project, according to data from Brandy buffet show. One of the most notable features is the awarding of the Royal Seal to 8,426 schools across Thailand, highlighting the recognition and support of the project.
A network of 211 preschools and 205 primary schools is supported by local leaders who provide valuable input into the implementation of educational content. Supported by prominent organizations including Somdet Phra Thep Rattana Rajakanya Foundation and the National Science Museum Organization, the project aims to promote enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among the young generation.
Look ahead
What does the future hold for the Scientist House project? The next steps include the development of sustainable educational approaches that are more inclusive of local contexts. The conference also highlighted the importance of online resources to support teachers and innovative learning methods that help improve the quality of education. This is in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the aim to reform the education landscape in Thailand.
In a country where education is highly valued, the Thai authorities are also investing heavily in the education sector. Education is seen as a crucial factor for the country's future development, which not least underlines the bilateral relations with Germany. These are shaped by joint projects in scientific and cultural exchange, such as DAAD describes.
It remains exciting to see which path the educational reform will take as part of the “House of Little Scientists” project. The diverse activities and local support give hope that the coming years will continue to bring positive developments that will ultimately benefit not only the students but also society as a whole.
