Education Ministry backs new overseas scholarships

The Ministry of Education has backed the One District One Scholarship ( Odos ) policy and encouraged Mathayom 4 ( Grade 10 ) students from across the country to apply to the program’s summer camp abroad, which was launched on Thursday.

The summer camp aims to help Thai individuals gain experience abroad as well as support prepare possible candidates for the Odos higher education scholarships, according to Siripong Angkasakulkiat and associate to education secretary Pol Gen Permpoon Chidchob.

He claimed on Friday that the government had noticed problems with students who had received Odos fellowships to pursue their education worldwide but who were unable to complete their studies due to language barriers and cultural differences.

He claimed that the new summertime program has been created to address the issue.

The Odos summer camp is a six-week little program, according to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, designed to offer young people to the earth, helping them get ready for new tasks and advance their personal growth.

The summer station is open to Mathayom 4 individuals who are between the ages of 18 and 19 from 928 different district across Thailand.

According to Mr. Siripong, entrants can use through the Tang Rat implementation process starting March 24 through May 16.

The principal organizations that will be guiding this initiative, according to Mr. Siripong, are the Office of the Civil Service Commission ( OCSC ) and the Equitable Education Fund ( EEF ).

The Education Ministry did not take the lead on the program this year, but it will give it full assistance, he said.

He stated that the project aims to give Thai children opportunities to advance their studies in areas they are interested in, particularly in STEM, by incorporating research, engineering, engineering, and mathematics.

The Gradient will be in charge of the project’s funding, he said, while the Government Lottery Office will be in charge of the scholarship submission.
