mark lamai 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Kingdom 'could become international education hub' Commerce Ministry permanent secretary Karun Kittisataporn said Friday that Thailand has a high potential to be the international education hub of Asia. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingne...newsid=30025809 seemingly the international aviation hub has lost a few spokes, so lets try another one. but education? you cannot be serious! how about: self delusion hub hooker trafficking hub. roadkill hub how not ot do it hub how to cheat hub Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakhar 77 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Yes, nothing like an MBA in rice farming to draw in the students.... Oh, and although we are "international" all instruction and all materials shall be given in Thai. and yes you are welcome to travel to Thailand via boat, our harbors are not sinking, just the airport.

brahmburgers 27 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 let's see, to get started, we'll kick out a good portion of our best farang teachers. Now, let's see, we're left with Thai nationals teaching English. What's that you say, "they don't speak fluently themselves, and the teachers are compicating assignements as to render learning near impossible?!" mai pen rai, we'll get on the right track as soon as we figure it where the starting point is - pass the MSG please.

PeaceBlondie 53 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 They could teach students how to make hubs for the wooden carts to be hauled by the water buffalos whose horns are decorated with the computer parts that the vo-tech students couldn't assemble.

lannarebirth 8173 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 In certain areas, this is an idea I think Thailand might be able to pull off. In America, it is more difficult to get into a veterinary school than it is a medical school. There justaren't enough slots for all the qualified applicants. It's a void Thailands schools could fill. On a less academic note, the trend globally seems to be towards more certificates and degrees required for employment with not much attention payed to institution or actual education. Thailand could exploit that niche as well as anywhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
