Hello all. I have several things to share and wish to touch on an international seminar on 'Thailand's Education Competitiveness in Global Environmental Changes' ka.
1. I really like what was shared by Khun Kobsak Pootrakool, Director and Senior Executive Vice President Member of the Board of Executive Directors, Bangkok Bank. His topic sentence was, "Thai People's Skills are the Key to Thailand's Growth'. He told us that the world has changed so much and workers are no longer needed in many advanced industries where AI can well replace them. Here are the views he shared ka:
- We are the ones creating the inequality from our attitude, ways of appreciating successes (quantitative basically), insufficient awareness about the real challenges, and overemphasis on social sciences out of easier achievements.
- Key success factors are the quality and skills of our people, not just the numbers of training and people trained.
- Lack of integrated efforts within and across sectors
- For 'How?', he proposes that we reconsider managing the root causes, i.e. the whole process of skill building of our people, starting from early childhood to boost their brain development along with other needed skills, quality of compulsory education, and increased dynamism of higher education along with deep understanding of the new world to identify the best approaches we need to take up and do it differently ka.
2. The seminar discussed extensively how AI has come into education and other sectors and how it impacts us all. Yet, it was more of a 'top down' to teachers and students without much about leaders/senior administrators themselves to be 'learning partners' in their respective settings, be they schools or government offices ka.
3. As a speaker, my talk stressed on the role of leaders to have increased understanding about the world trends/ macro pictures and their implications. They must have their own hands-on experiences on the use of AI, their initiatives to change from 'the ones who know all' to 'the ones who are curious to know' with evidence of actions before they demand their communities to follow. They must reflect well and have increased self-awareness before expecting others to do it ka.
