Government officials nationwide will be trained on digital technology as part of the government’s ambition to turn the country into a digital based economy.
Representatives who attended a special lecture delivered by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha have signed up to drive the training.
Prayut said the country is moving forward amid global dynamics and digital technology is a key to drive it.
Prayut said he had instructed the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society to proceed with the plan, so that government officials would be better equipped with technology.
Government agencies and officials must change so that they can work in line with the changes and make use of the technology the most, he said.
In the next five years, he said, the Thai government would become “the digital based government”.
