PM Srettha Honored for Elevating Education Equity Campaign

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has received an honorary award for his role in elevating the private sector-led "Thailand Zero Dropout" campaign to a national agenda, aiming to transform the structure of educational equality in Thailand. Srettha, formerly the CEO of the real estate giant Sansiri, has focused on addressing disparities in the education sector since entering politics. This award highlights the significance of elevating a private sector social contribution initiative to a national policy level. The "Thailand Zero Dropout" campaign aims to create an environment where children, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, can continue their education without interruption until completion. The Prime Minister has designated this campaign as a "national priority" and intends to implement specific measures in cooperation with relevant ministries and organizations. This initiative demonstrates a united approach between the government and the private sector to tackle the deep-rooted issue of educational inequality in Thai society. It holds the potential to mark a significant turning point in Thailand's future educational policies, with expectations that more children will gain access to quality education under the Prime Minister's leadership.
