Abstract
One factor behind the poor quality of Thai education is inequality in access, especially to high quality education. At university level, inequality remains severe. National education reform strategies will comprise improvements in educational testing, curriculum, teacher quality, educational quality assurance and educational financing. Issues of governance and political instability also cause economic slowdown and rising unemployment and crime, which slow education progress and decrease demand for higher education. A stronger definition of inclusive growth focuses not only on opportunities for the poor but also on equal distribution of the benefits of growth, reflected in health and education policy.
