The Ministry of Education yesterday endorsed the One District One Scholarship ( Odos ) policy and encouraged Matthayom 4 ( Year 10 ) students from across the country to submit applications for the program’s summer camp abroad, which was launched on Thursday.
The summer tent aims to give Thai individuals with an outside expertise as well as aid in the preparation of possible candidates for the Odos higher education fellowships, according to Siripong Angkasakulkiat and secretary to Education Minister Pol Gen Permpoon Chidchob.
He claimed that the government had noticed issues with students who received Odos fellowships to pursue their studies internationally because of cultural barriers and language barriers.
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.
Matthayom 4 students in 928 different towns across the nation, including Bangkok, are eligible to apply for the summer station.
According to Mr. Siripong, entrants can use through the Tang Rat program deadline of 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 over the program this year, he said, but it will give it full support to make it successful.
The project aims to give Thai children opportunities to advance their studies in areas they are interested in, particularly STEM, integrating technology, technology, engineering, and algebra, he said.
The Gradient will be in charge of the project’s funding, he said, while the Government Lottery Office will be in charge of the award distribution.
