TIEE 2010: Boundless Opportunities in
Every Avenue of Learning
BANGKOK, Oct. 19
/PRNewswire-Asia/—Thailand’s policy on the liberalization of
education in the 1990s has encouraged rapid development and
expansion in the number of international education institutions in
the Kingdom. Today, there are more than 400 international schools
and higher education institutions in Bangkok and other major cities
across the country, in addition to the English-based study programs
currently available in the majority of state and private schools
and colleges throughout the country.
The choice of study courses is thus almost limitless, making it
simple for students and concerned parents to select the desired
course. Also, the comfortable standard of living and modern
amenities available have attracted more and more students from
overseas to study in this country, as the cost of study here is
much lower than in most other parts of the world.
The Thailand International Education Expo 2010 (TIEE 2010)
taking place at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in
Bangkok from November 19-21, 2010 will be the country’s biggest and
most comprehensive event on international education in Thailand.
Organized by the Department of Export Promotion (DEP), Ministry of
Commerce under the theme, “ASEAN’s Hub of Learning, The Heart of
Global Network,” the event will feature more than 200 exhibition
booths offering the widest possible choice of education from
primary to university level. This includes a selection of some 900
study programs, vocational courses and popular short courses such
as Thai boxing, Thai cooking, traditional massage, and even
aviation training. Specific language courses such as Mandarin,
Japanese, French, German and Spanish are also highlighted, along
with the many education-related spheres including computer
software, educational toys and materials.
Last year’s event attracted more than 9,000 local and foreign
visitors. The upcoming three-day educational funfest is almost
certain to draw more than 10,000 people, especially the target
group of students, parents and academic representatives.
TIEE 2010 also presents great
opportunities for scholarships and student loans, guidance and
counselling as well as full information on insurance coverage,
boarding and lodging. In addition, there will be workshops,
seminars and discussions relating to education. With plentiful
games and contests, prizes, gifts and souvenirs galore,
TIEE 2010 promises to be an educational
experience unlike any other in all of Southeast Asia.
