BCCT are looking for all kinds of suppliers that have an interest in the Thai market.

Thailand is strategically located in South East Asia with land links to Laos, Cambodia, Burma, and Malaysia.  Bangkok, its city is a hub for many multinational enterprise.  To retain its competitive edge once the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) comes in effect, Thailand needs to improve the English language skill as it will be the official language for ASEAN.  According to British education and publishing group, Pearson Plc, Thailand’s education system is ranked 37th out of 40 countries.  That means there is an urgent need for English proficiency among teachers, students and company employees. English for Specific Purpose (ESP) is also needed in all across sectors e.g. Oil & Gas, Healthcare and ICT. 

The vocational courses and trainings are needed in areas e.g. Engineering, Healthcare and Tourism as Thailand is currently facing vocational skills shortages.  The Ministry of Education plans to enhance vocational education and is receptive to collaborating with overseas delivery partners.  The aim is to increase the number of students enrolling to vocational education and to provide higher quality vocational training.  So that Thailand can increase its employability and remain a leading value-added manufacturing and service economy.  

Due to the penetration of 4G internet in the Thai market, it is expected that the number of mobile users will increase from 40 million users to 50 million users in a few years.  This number shows that Thai are very well receptive with new technology.  To keep up with the global trend of digital economy, the interactive software and hardware are interesting learning tools to create a fun learning experience for both adults and kids.
