Bangkok--Jun 30--SET
Mr. Kittiratt Na-Ranong, the SET President, announced that today (June 29, 2005), the SET has signed an MOU with Acclaim Consultant International Co., Ltd. (ACI) to launch the project “Thinking Capability Development for Youths”. The partners in the project will jointly develop teaching media to help instructors and teachers encourage students at the high school and tertiary levels to develop their thinking skills. The project is set to start in October.
Under this cooperative agreement, the SET covered all expenses to design and develop teaching materials that will be easy to understand and useful in real life. All of these materials have already been completed. The SET has also supported training sessions for teachers from various institutions.
“When the project starts this year, we will experiment with all the instructional materials at 6 pioneer schools, both in Bangkok and elsewhere around the country, starting with high school students. The selection process for schools to participate in the project and the evaluation of the teaching will be conducted before the project is expanded to other schools and universities across the country.
“This is a good opportunity for Thai youths to obtain useful ideas from this curriculum to use in their daily lives and improve their work effectiveness,” said Mr. Kittiratt.
Mr. Udom Sawangchit, Chief Executive Officer of ACI, announced that ACI is determined to teach people how to think more effectively through the use of this curriculum because systematic thinking is very important for a successful life and continuous advancement.
“The more you practice and use logical thinking skills, the better you will be able to hit the right points, collect and classify adequate information, and put the whole story in order. It is also a skill that can be practiced before a person’s career begins. This curriculum will be highly beneficial for Thailand’s youths and Thailand’s youths are the nation’s future. ACI has more than 20 years experience in consulting in the areas of business strategy formulation, work process adjustment and human resource development for both state and private organizations,” Mr. Udom concluded.
