The Intel® Teach Program in Thailand commenced in early 2003 and initially covered schools in the Bangkok metropolitan area, followed by the training of in-service teachers in other provinces from April 2004. It was extended to include pre-service teachers in May 2008.

To date, Intel Thailand has trained more than 6,000 Master Trainers. Each Master Trainer is tasked with training 20 teachers, which has resulted in a total of more than 57,000 trained across all 76 provinces in Thailand for both public and private schools belonging to the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC), Office of the Private Education Commission (OPEC) and in-service teachers with the Office of the Vocational Education Commission (OVEC).

Intel Thailand has been collaborating with the Ministry of Education to hold annual Master Trainer forums since 2004. A primary objective is to improve teaching practices by providing advanced training and teaching methods that are in line with the Intel® Teach program course used worldwide.

The Master Trainers trained in at the forums also have the opportunity to exchange their experiences and share their problems, solutions and feedback. For Intel, the Master Trainer forums also provide the opportunity to collect feedback on the overall Intel® Teach program and identify potential areas for improvement.

Intel Thailand was recognized on the 115th anniversary of the Ministry of Education in April 1, 2007 for its commitment and highly valued contributions to education. The recognition was testament to the success in teacher professional development by the Intel® Teach project.

Intel® Teach is part of the Intel® Education initiative, a sustained commitment – in collaboration with educators and government leaders worldwide – to help today’s students develop the higher-level thinking skills they need to participate and succeed in a knowledge-based economy.
