Thailand Ministry of Education signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the state-owned telecommunications company, TOT Public Company Limited, to improve the internet network service under the MOENet project last week.

MOENet is a network providing internet service to 3100 education institutions locally. The project aims to support teaching and learning, develop and reinforce the nation’s education foundation, and increase the ministry’s efficiency.

According to Permanent Secretary Panita Kambhu Na Ayutthaya (pictured), the ministry has been focusing on student-centred learning by distributing education opportunities equally throughout the country. The enhancement of high-speed internet will further facilitate this process across the organisations and institutes under the ministry.

TOT wi-fi high speed internet system will be installed at the ministry to magnify the internet gateway to the speed of 8/10 gbps. Speed of internet circuit leaded line or DSL/VPM of education institutes located within 4 kilometres will also be increased to 8-10 mbps.
