  • Success Or Failure of the Thai Higher Education Development—Critical Factors in the Policy Process of Quality Assurance
    sustainability Article Success or Failure of the Thai Higher Education Development—Critical Factors in the Policy Process of Quality Assurance Chitralada Chaiya * and Mokbul Morshed Ahmad Department of Development and Sustainability (DDS), School of Environment, Resources and Development (SERD), Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Pathumthani 12120, Thailand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +66-831-879-358 Abstract: Understanding the factors affecting the policy process of quality assurance is important for assessing the development of higher education. Here, we used a qualitative research approach, along with an analysis of policies and a literature review, to investigate the national policy process. The factors of quality assurance relating to improving the quality of higher education and SDGs in Thailand since the introduction and implementation of a national policy on quality assurance between 1999 and 2019 were also analyzed. Content area experts in Thailand were directly interviewed, and the obtained data were analyzed in terms of the Act. Through the analysis, we identified three main processes affecting education quality assurance between 1999 and 2019; namely, policy formulation, policy implementation, and policy evaluation. Our findings reveal that, although the policy was defined as an act during the policy formulation process, its implementation and evaluation have been limited by critical factors, such as the achievement of graduates, university ranking, and the Citation: Chaiya, C.; Ahmad, M.M. country’s competitiveness. We conclude that prioritizing the quality assurance policy and facilitating Success or Failure of the Thai Higher relevant factors are essential to improving the development of higher education in Thailand.

  • English Skills for AEC Communication: a Challenge for Thai Universities
    English skills for AEC communication: A challenge for Thai universities Kantatip Sinhaneti, Shinawatra University, Thailand Wei Fu, Shinawatra University, Thailand Abstract: ASEAN member countries are rapidly approaching a new milestone to be a single market at the end of 2015. Thailand has an ambition to be the hub for international education among ASEAN countries. English skills become more important for Thailand when AEC is fully implemented. This paper is based on a study from 16 Thai higher institutions, which offer Bachelor and Master degree programs to improve students’ communication skills in English. The results show that they offer 57 listening and speaking courses and 83 reading and writing courses under those Bachelor programs. Among the programs offered, only one university offers English for Everyday and Social Communication course. They offer a few courses under master level programs to enhance students’ 21st century skills and professional development. From such findings, lacking English communication skills courses will be a big problem for Thai workers to meet the AEC market needs. Perhaps, it’s a great challenge for Thai universities to orchestrate some changes in ELT curricula to provide more English skills courses for real life communication, especially to cater for the AEC market. Key words: AEC, English Skills, Challenge, Thai higher education 1. Introduction ASEAN member countries are rapidly approaching a new milestone to be a single market at the end of 2015. It will be more important than ever for Thais to develop their 21st century and English language skills to compete with the new intercultural workplace. Thailand has an ambition to be the hub for international education among ASEAN countries.

As the 10th edition of ICAS is taking place in Asia, it will be greatly beneficial and intellectually challenging to invite Asia scholars to use this platform to discuss and exchange ideas on how we can better understand the changes that are happening in this region today. The conference is envisaged as an opportunity for participants to question the old paradigms and to search for new ones that can help us to analytically investigate the emerging economic, political and social order, as well as to conceive a realisation of the need for a new methodology to help us in better dealing with the problems of environment degradation, migration, authoritarianism, ethnic conflict, inequality, commoditisation of culture, and so forth.
