⦁ Progress on the implementation of the coding policy over the past 1 year
Only in the part of the MOE, moving forward quite a lot, with both one-on-one teacher training And during the coronavirus outbreak 2019, or COVID-19, four online courses were developed at the elementary school level. High school Lower secondary education And high school Also known as the Four Noble Truths, giving teachers an opportunity all over the country no matter what they finish. Able to learn coding Currently, more than two hundred thousand teachers have been trained in the past, coding for teachers, later developed into Coding Online for Teacher Plus, which has to be trained in the first round before being able to participate in this training. In addition to training To ensure that coding can be applied to the teaching and learning context of each region and ministry. The Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC), in collaboration with the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST), organized lecturers to train 13 small remote schools to be able to learn coding. It is fun to integrate with local culture. Which includes both the coding Coding salted fish Codeing Shrimp Paste Klong Khon Related to the community economy
⦁ Coding and community economy How are they related?
Coding is teaching people to think and analyze logically, mathematical systems, science to solve problems in stages. Therefore, the principle can be applied to any context, whether it is food. Travel It teaches people to think systematically, to be logical, step by step, to solve problems immediately and to solve complex problems. Therefore, regardless of the field of study, it can be applied to all 8 groups of learning subjects.
⦁ Are you satisfied with your past performance?
Satisfied because it was pushed until it was packed into an urgent policy. Article 7 of the government with the word Coding for Allin is now extended to within the MOE by Gen. Prayut Chan-ocha. Chart has Mr. Wisanu Krea-ngam, Deputy Prime Minister, as the chairman, along with representatives from every ministry. Including the private sector Become a director To create a coding course for working people, various occupations In addition, the National Reform Committee on Culture, Sports, Labor and Human Resource Development Set up a subcommittee To use coding in developing countries, so coding is system-wide By using the coding to add value to the people of the whole country, regardless of the level
⦁ Does that mean coding isn’t just about school?
Not at all. Coding is more than just digital. But we have to learn coding and understand Therefore going to translate into digital languages Therefore, coding activities are Unplugged (Unplugged), ie, do not use a computer. But use the surroundings And the more coding you do Will only have the ability to solve immediate problems Importantly, learning coding unplugged. Will reduce educational disparity Because you don’t have to invest No matter where they are in, they can learn Create people to be able to face the changes in the era. Disruption that is very volatile in life. Everyone in the country is required to learn coding. Which many ministries took part Already in the National Coding Committee In addition, there is also a code for reforming the country, which invited Prof. Dr. Suchatchawee.
Suwannasawat President of King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) and Mr. Supachai Chearavanont, Executive Chairman of the Charoen Pokphand Group. Become a member of the coding subcommittee for national reform.
⦁ Coding for National Reform In what areas will be reformed?
The National Coding Center will look at career development in curriculum, which will allow students, university school students, people from different professions to come together to think about every step of the way. Analytical thinking can solve problems correctly.
⦁ How does the Prime Minister pay attention to this issue?
Very important Therefore established as a national coding And is a part of the reform of Thailand
⦁ What budget will be used to drive this matter?
Preparing to establish a preliminary fund, the MOE organizes a budget for management and public relations in 2021 approximately 20 million baht. Or a subcommittee for coordination of public and private sectors both in Thailand and abroad For capacity development Skills and learning and teaching computer language (Coding. Coding) to help the year 2022 budget will be expanded even more.
⦁ Many people view coding as an abstract. How will it be extended?
If thinking systematically, thinking is analyzed correctly It will do things in the right way, do the right thing, systematically, step by step, make it a confident solution to the modern world. It’s a digital language skill that the world needs to have. That I have to say repeatedly Because it is important Like the CEO of many global companies Said that if you had to choose to learn a language, coding and a foreign language He chose to learn coding because it is a language that can communicate with more than 7 billion people all over the world, but if he chooses to learn a foreign language, he will only communicate with people in
Therefore, coding is a language that can be communicated internationally.
⦁ What are the expectations of the coding policy?
I was the one who pushed the government to contain this matter. It is the government’s urgent policy No. 7 that requires everyone in the country to learn coding. When the coding in the school is on the air It is hoped that each area can be applied for more integration. And if the whole country learns the code Hopefully one day we will produce innovations for sale overseas instead of buying innovations from foreign countries, for example, with various applications. Used in communication that is Thai nationality Do not waste money to buy things abroad. And believe that although not in the position of Deputy Minister of the MOE, this policy will continue Because it is useful It is a must have for everyone. It will reduce the burden in many ways.
It is also hoped that the coding lesson will be accompanied by With studying science and innovation Unavoidable And recently it has pushed the ten energetic science project. The Cabinet has approved a budget of over 9 billion baht to undertake this project to encourage more children to learn science and technology. From ten to a hundred A hundred thousand people All of this is a plan that will be done in parallel. And I think that the dream of creating innovation is always close to reality Even though I’m not here These projects will continue. I am proud to be the one who laid the foundation for the education reform that comes down to the child. This is the first time that education reforms to children are not structured.
⦁ Other work How are you
At present, an agency such as the Office for Education Standards and Quality Assessment (ONESQA) is in the process of selecting the Chairperson of the NSC committees, starting the external education quality assessment. Where will you go in to help strengthen it? It is a collaboration to improve the quality of education.

Met with Mr. Jurin Laksanawisit, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce As the leader of the NCCC Party and confirmed that the ministerial quota of the NCCC still has 7 positions the same
⦁ For a list of Candidates Minister of the Ministry of Education to replace Mr. Natthaphon Teepasuwan, how are you?
