🔰 Modern Thai education relies too heavily on imitating major powers. Instead, we should study their frameworks and methods to adapt them to our own national context—grounded in our unique geography, available resources, culture, and traditions.
🎓 Education must help individuals gain a proper understanding of natural principles, developing skills and experiences that can be practically applied to their local communities. Beyond boosting the economy, education should, more importantly, preserve local resources, identity, and society.
📚If education only pushes students to excel in academics and technology, we will inevitably have to face ongoing issues like corruption, global warming, and crime. Today, many developed nations still suffer heavily from these problems; the more technologically advanced they become, the more moral decay occurs. This shows that their education system fails to truly uplift society—it advances only materialism and technology, leaving human morality and spiritual wisdom uneducated.
