On the morning of July 17, 2026, TEC delegation visited the Division of Educational System Management Leadership (ESML) at the Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University, for a cooperative exchange with its faculty members and students. Chulalongkorn University is Thailand’s oldest and most prestigious university, often hailed as the “Pillar of the Kingdom” in Thai higher education, and the ESML program is the only one within the Faculty of Education that offers an international student track.
The delegation was warmly received by Prof. Sukanya Chaemchoy, Director of the ESML doctoral program, Dr. Poramet Charoynoot, four doctoral students and two master’s students. Prof. Chaemchoy systematically introduced the ESML Program, outlining its educational philosophy, curriculum, talent cultivation model, and current research priorities. She also welcomed future visits and academic exchanges by postgraduate students from TEC. Dr. Charoynoot provided a detailed account of ESML’s practical experiences in principal leadership training, school management evaluation, and teacher professional development.
Associate Professor Song Jia then introduced the establishment, core mission, and major programs of TEC, and invited the ESML faculty and students to participate in the TEC’s Belt and Road Teacher ProfessionalDevelopmentProject and the Global Teacher Development Forum later this year.
During the discussion session, faculty members and students from the two institutions presented their recent researches and projects, and exchanged views on teacher professional development, educational leadership, comparative education, faculty and student mobility, and opportunities for joint research. Both sides agreed that China and Thailand share many similar challenges and opportunities in the process of educational modernization, and expressed their mutual commitment to strengthening academic dialogue and future collaboration.
