NT BEYOND EDUCATION What is it and who is it for?

Building a good and quality population as the foundation and main driving force for national development requires human development in a variety of aspects. The key to the foundation for the quality of the national population is “education”, a basic right that all Thais must receive according to the. Constitution. It states that everyone has the equal right to at least twelve years of free education of comprehensive and high quality provided by the state. [1].

Today, education is no longer confined to the classroom. As the world changes, education must adapt accordingly. Communication technology has played an important role in the education of Thai children. This can be seen in the rapid changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most severe and consequential outbreaks in the history of the world. For this reason, internet communication has played a role in almost all areas, including education. Communication devices are used as learning tools in almost every household whether by a small kindergarten child to a university student who has to study online instead of physically in school.

There is no denying that the “internet communication system” is a factor that makes online learning effective. It is an important tool that helps children learn and get important information from teachers. Teachers also rely on such communication systems to deliver lessons to their students.
