Education in Thailand

  • Higher earning Why a university degree is worth more in some countries than others

    AFGHANISTAN, 2016/12/11 A university education may expand your mind. It will as well fatten your wallet. Data from the OECD, a club of rich nations, show that graduates can expect far better lifetime earnings than those without a degree. The size of this premium varies. It is greatest in Ireland, which has a high GDP per chief and rising inequality. Since 2000 the unemployment rate for under-35s has swelled to 8% for those with degrees – but to additional than 20% for those without, and nearly 40% for secondary school drop-outs. The country’s wealth presently goes disproportionately to workers with letters next their names.
  • Education linked to labour skills and competitiveness

    THAILAND, 2010/11/30 Only better education will improve Thailand's industrial competitiveness and bring sustainable economic increase, says the president of the Thailand Development Research Institute. "However, access to college education is very limited for lower gain families," said Nipon Paopongsakorn in an interview. Nipon was referring to the study "Schooling Access Inequality and Educational Wage Trends in Thailand, 1986 -2009" by Dilaka Lathapipat, which will be presented at TDRI's annual forum on Monday and Tuesday.
