The purpose of this visit to Kasetsart University is to discuss the “Preparing Teachers to Innovate Using Digital Technologies” project. SEAMEO INNOTECH wishes to invite KU to participate in the project as one of three universities in Thailand (Higher Education Institutions: HEIs). If KU accepts the invitation, SEAMEO INNOTECH will co-organize a 2-3 day Capacity Building and Action Research Design Workshop as part of the collaboration.

.

KU has already collaborated with the SEAMEO (Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization) network on several projects. However, this initiative marks the first collaboration between KU and SEAMEO INNOTECH, laying a foundation for strong academic relations between Thailand and the Republic of the Philippines. During the discussions, both parties agreed to organize a Capacity Building and Action Research Design Workshop on January 23, 2025, to showcase KU’s research and initiatives in education. These include topics such as artificial intelligence, assessment methods, teaching processes, and learning management systems, among others.
