EDUCATION MINISTER IS URGING TO ADJUST VOCATIONAL EDUCATION TO REACH PUBLIC WANTS

The Ministry of Education is adjusting the role of vocational colleges throughout Thailand to be in line with the public demands. The ministry is also looking to develop the curriculum of basic education and the community colleges. This development scheme is set to start next academic year.

Education Minister CHATURON CHAISANG (จาตุรนต์ ฉายแสง) said he is accumulating different ideas on this issue from many concerned agencies, in order to follow the government policy to upgrade the education sector of Thailand. Thus, the country’s education would be able to compete with other countries. Moreover, vocational educations can change their institutions’ names to identify their new roles.

The Education Minister added that he will link up vocational educations’ curriculums with the Office of the Basic Education Commission as well as local colleges in the next academic year.

I'm impressed. I've read this 3 times now, and I still don't know what it means. That's a new standard of bureaucratese even for Thai government pronouncements.
