TK Park announces ‘Learning in a Digital Age’ strategy
THAILAND KNOWLEDGE PARK has announced its 2017 operational plan under the concept “Learning in a Digital Age” for sustainable social and economic development in alignment with the government’s 20-year national strategy and “Thailand 4.0” policy.
Rames Promyen, acting director of TK Park, said that in the digital age, technology played a key role in the daily life of people of every age. Almost every youngster, worker and senior citizen owns a smartphones or other smart device.
The government’s effort to develop the high-speed Internet network, extending broadband coverage to every village nationwide, will help reduce gaps in knowledge access and provide more convenience. This will result in development in various dimensions, including careers and access to learning sources, while local products can be distributed to Thai and international markets by e-commerce. Sharing of agricultural knowledge will improve productivity.
The 20-year national strategy in accordance with the 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan and the Thailand 4.0 policy aims to develop skills for the 21st century, creating and developing innovation from science and technology as well as applying local knowledge to enhance competency and raise incomes.
TK Park this year is gearing towards reading behaviour, learning skills appropriate to the 21st century, encouraging children and teens to develop thinking and analysing skills and creativity as a basis for growing professionally in the future.
