Is Thailand ready for a third language?
Thailand’s Ministry of Education recently revealed that it would push for the inclusion of a third language: coding (computer programming language) into its school curriculum.
Deputy Education Minister Kalaya Sophonpanich was responding to the proposal of teaching coding at schools from Future Forward MP Kulthida Roongruangkiat during the debate on the government’s policy statement. Kalaya said that it was her wish that Thai students learn a third language (in addition to English and their native language) as early as kindergarten if possible.
