Thailand and Indonesia signed an education partnership agreement to expand AI literacy programs, teacher exchanges, and scholarships, with focus on developing digital skills and supporting students from Thailand's southern border regions.
Education Minister Prasert Chantharavong led Thailand's delegation in signing a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia's Primary and Secondary Education Ministry during Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's official visit to Jakarta on August 3–4, 2025. Prasert said the partnership reaffirms both nations as "allies" in promoting educational cooperation across early childhood, primary, secondary, and vocational education, including teacher and student exchanges, expert sharing, and mutual recognition of qualifications under each country's laws and regulations.
During discussions, Thailand and Indonesia addressed AI Education to develop students' artificial intelligence and digital literacy skills for the digital age and future job markets, along with teacher capacity building. The two countries also discussed promoting Thai and Indonesian language learning through teacher exchanges and student scholarship programs, with particular emphasis on students from Thailand's southern border provinces.
