Thanks to fantastic feedback, this website had been the No. 1 educational website for five consecutive years (since 2019).

In pursuit of this goal, they set up a \u2018Learning Center\u2019 to find solutions to local problems. This collaboration is one of the projects coming out of True\u2019s partnership with the CONNEXT ED Foundation, which believes educational services should respond to social context, enable market mechanisms and promote participation of schools, communities and private sector in the sustainable development of schools and communities, paving the way for better educational achievements.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>To engage society, it is necessary that communities must first have confidence in educational system. For the confidence to grow, educational quality must be solid.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cWe thus must develop school and the local community at the same time to achieve tangible results. The problems of the schools and the community cannot be tackled separately,\u201d the director of the Bannongnguak School said. He continued that to raise the number of his school\u2019s students, the needs of the local community must also be taken into account. He expected his school to drive efforts to find solutions to the community\u2019s problems. With that expectation, he started improving curriculum. After parents started noticing that the school has had a great curriculum, they stopped sending their children away<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-42397dd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"42397dd\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ff0958\" data-id=\"7ff0958\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e800f54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e800f54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Slide-7.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-5635\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Slide-7.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Slide-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Slide-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Slide-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Slide-7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c53d6d9\" data-id=\"c53d6d9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cf29f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7cf29f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Bannongnguak School has embraced Child Centric Learning approach.

At present, there are more than 200 ICT Talents across Thailand. They have received regular training to boost their knowledge and learn about new tools. Such training not only provide them with ICT skills like AI, Coding, and Network System, but it also enhance their communication, management, and other leadership skills. The training is provided on a quarterly basis.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>From the perspective of Kullawat who has been a semi-outsider at the Bannongnguak School for over eight years, this school has been strengthening and successfully increasing the number of its students because of its holistic approach and collaborations among three parties: the school director, teachers and the school\u2019s committee that plays a role in driving and supporting new solutions.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>According to the Thailand Development Research Institute\u2019s (TDRI) research findings, students\u2019 and teachers\u2019 ICT literacy have risen by 76% and 88% respectively at schools with ICT Talents\u2019 contributions.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-036f5ff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"036f5ff\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2ad7c5\" data-id=\"f2ad7c5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-044dff0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"044dff0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Quality Schools, Quality Students<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c7cb381 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c7cb381\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-282213d\" data-id=\"282213d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b192995 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b192995\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Today, True Plookpanya is over 16 years old.
