Based on a World Health Organisation report, Thailand has the second highest number of teenage births among Asean countries (Bankok Post, March 8, 2013). Teen pregnancy has always been a problem in Thailand. More and more teens are becoming pregnant every day. Most of them can’t afford the expenses of birth control. Others do not know how to prevent a pregnancy.

Below is the true story of one of our scholarship students.

Today, every business and individual is affected by the digital revolution. Companies and employees need to transform the way they operate to meet the digital challenge.

Many companies struggle to find qualified workers with the required technology skills. Schools and universities are often way behind and insufficiently prepare their students for this rapidly approaching new reality.
