The Importance of Project

 

Education quality in Thailand is still inferior to many countries. Thailand’s education does not focus on teaching to enable children to think or analyze by reasoning, especially 

teaching and learning arrangement or education to reach children who live in remote areas and faraway from civilization or in disadvantaged rural areas. Education arrangement that limits media communication, materials, according to government’s limitations, limiting knowledge to small circle. One reason showing that most children dislike reading, thinking, and additional knowledge research is due to school’s lacking of budget to promote education; no library, no books on knowledge and technology for children to study and research, no books to enhance/alert learning skills, as well as lacking of computer for children to search via internet.
