Thailand Launches THAI Academy to Transform Education with AI
Thailand partners with Microsoft to launch THAI Academy, promoting AI-driven educationreform and digital literacy across all learning levels
Thailand Unveils AI-Powered THAI Academy for Future-Ready Learning
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Thailand’s Ministry of Education (MOE), Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), and Microsoft have launched the THAI Academy – AI in Education initiative. This ambitious project is aimed at overhauling Thailand’s educational system by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure equitable access to future–ready skills. With goals set under the national AI strategy, the initiative targets AI literacy for over 10 million citizens and the development of 30,000 AI specialists by 2030.
AI-Integrated Curriculum Across Schools and Universities
The initiative follows the government’s “3+1 Languages” approach—Thai, Chinese, English, and Digital literacy—and promotes AI in both K–12 and higher education. Over
600,000 high school students are being engaged in the pilot phase. AI–powered platforms like chatbots and smart agents will support educators with custom lesson planning and
standardized delivery. Simultaneously, MHESI and Microsoft are offering free AI courses via the GETS platform, including certifications and micro–credentials tailored for AI careers such as prompt engineers and data scientists
Public–Private Partnership Sets National Example
This partnership marks a pivotal move towards inclusive, tech–integrated learning. With more than 200 free online courses in Thai from Microsoft, the project empowers teachers,
students, and working professionals alike. Officials emphasized that this is not just a tech upgrade but a systemic educational transformation that enables lifelong learning through a National Credit Bank System and portfolio app. The initiative is set to position Thailand as a regional leader in ethical and accessible AI education
