The Department of Export Promotion (DEP) has joined force with public and private groups to organise the Thailand International Education Expo 2010 (TIEE 2010) from November 19-21 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre.
DEP assistant director-general Matyawongse Amatyakul, who presided over a launch for the expo at the Commerce Ministry, said more than 100,000 Thai and foreign students were enrolled in international programs in Thailand and the number of Thai students alone had been expand-ing by more than 16 per cent annually.
"The expo will cover the entire spectrum of international educa-tion and related services as well as seminars, workshops and exhibitions. Over 10,000 serious visitors are expected to explore services offered in 230 booths - with 900 curricula available at over 400 international education institutes from throughout Thailand," he said.
"The expo will definitely be a golden opportunity for inter-national educational institutes and education service providers to launch their latest innovations and courses."
Presented under the concept of "Asean's Education Hub, The Heart of a Global Network", TIEE 2010 will showcase the country's potential in international educa-tion. It aims to boost confidence among students, parents and education providers worldwide.
The event will also feature a discussion on "TIEE 2010: The Opportunities Are Here" with del-egates such as Matyawongse, plus Usa Somboon, president of the International Schools Association of Thailand (ISAT), and Chitra Chantrakul, president of the Association of Private School Administrators for Non-formal Education.
