Maths lags in innovation race
The government should put more effort into improving children’s mathematics skills to handle changes in the current world, an academic said, amid signs that the country is lagging regional competitors in innovation development.
While science and mathematics are keys to innovation, there is big room for improvement among Thais in their maths skills, and that work must start at an early age, Suchatvee Suwansawat, president of King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) and president of Council of University Presidents of Thailand, said.
