A Study of Thailand’s Participation in Global Education Governance: Theory, Practice, and Challenges

Summary/Abstract: Background/purpose. This study explores how sovereign states— specifically, Thailand—have a significant influence on the global system of education governance. Thailand is clearly involved in global education governance, although there are a few areas that need more research. These include comprehending Thailand's educational background, driving forces, career paths, and obstacles. Materials/methods. This study employed a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Key stakeholders from six Thai institutions participated, along with 300 international students and 120 international teachers. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used in the data analysis to shed light on best practices, quality control, and policy alignment. Results. It points out that Thailand's educational system has developed over a long period of time and has created a useful framework for taking part in global education governance. Thailand's involvement is driven by a variety of factors, which result in the creation of basic but unsystematic paths. The study also recognizes the complicated contexts in which Thailand participates. Conclusion. In short, the study points out a number of shortcomings and suggests that future investigations use both qualitative and quantitative techniques to thoroughly examine sovereign states' involvement in global education governance.
