Let’s paraphrase this for you.
"We still haven’t a clue so this is a convenient smoke screen for a dumb Thai population to give the impression of progress."

As someone posted there are good schools.
The problem is you have to pay for them and most Thais can not afford to send there kids there.
There is only a small amount of room at the top and the elite get all those jobs.
The elite are happy to have a poor standard of education at the low end income working people, as they don't need pressure on their own.
Saying that, they will pounce on children who are genius level and provide them with scholarships and jobs.
It is similar world wide with many coming out of university with law degrees and end up working in supermarkets as no room at the top for them unless they are connected.
Very sad world we have these days.
A little pessimistic- if you have a good relevant degree you will be very sought after . My UK educated Thai stepdaughter with a 1st in economics and her English partner (1st in Chemistry) took one interview each to land their respective jobs in the City of their choice so they could live together.
The more highly educated population you have will similarly generate business and work to match. Singapore is a great example.

Thailand’s lowly and worsening position in the PISA educational tables which measures 15 year olds are a depressing glimpse into the future along with googling IQ by country.

Could the disastrous baht price have anything to do with it?
without forgetting to speak
the often harsh reception from Thai traders,
very many road accidents,
tourist boats which sink for lack of maintenance,
etc., etc ...?I used to think that through their education system they came up a bit short on the critical thinking skills. But I was being too generous and after numerous similarly daft initiatives,an examination of IQ by country and their place in the PISA educational tables I now realise there is a THICK GENE.

Tech industry in Thailand is being relocated elsewhere for lack of skilled technicians, and an appalling lack of English skills.
As to the number of graduates churned out by Thai Universities: me thinks it is the wrong question to ask. What is the QUALITY of graduates would be a more appropriate question. Here again, English-speaking and understanding skills (the lingua franca of the world) are sadly missing.
What with the dwindling number of tourists, and all the other navel staring qualities the Thai posses, I would say they are rapidly progressing towards the exit, instead of aspiring to even BE a middle income zone (top 5 percent of pop. excluded).
Succinct, to which I would add look at Thailand’s lowly and worsening position in the PISA educational tables fir a glimpse of the future....and the average IQ.

even the average Thai knows to buy low and sell high. Plus they can show off how wealthy they are.
Sophisticated investors cannot say for certain when it’s high or low unless with hindsight- the average Thai knows far less.
More to do with dressing up like a tawdry Xmas tree when in reality theyve got little else. Empty vessels make most noise.

Proper analysis shows it’s lagged behind a decent spread of equities over a n accepted investment time scale. It also pays no dividends.

The Thai's are slowly starting to get the message, they need a democratic government free of any military involvements, suffice to say, it backfired Prayut, I reckon you will be out before they year is out and the constitution will be changed in due course, rightfully so, well, I can hope.
That 43% say they’re not bothered about the dissolution of a legitimate serious opposition party shows just how backward their understanding is.
Anyway that’s just bickering.. ????

Don't move your Thai wife to the West if you want to come back .
in Marriage and Divorce
Anecdotal evidence is no substitute for reality. The majority of wives taken to the west don’t have great qualifications or where they do they are not relevant to a decent job and their written English is poor due to the education system.Most will be doing menial work. I saw none in uk that had done anything special. The only exception was my stepdaughter whom I brought to UK at 9 and ended up with a good economics degree and subsequent job in commerce.
