Thailand Donates 22 Computers to Rural School in Chiang Mai
Thailand's Natural Resources and Environment Ministry donated 22 computers to Ban Kiwlom School in rural Chiang Mai, aiming to improve digital access and technology skills for students in underserved areas.
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchat Chomklin announced that he has directed the Forest Industry Organization (FIO) to conduct an educational merit-making ceremony at Ban Kiwlom School in Tambol Bo Luang, Hod district, Chiang Mai province. The initiative will support education and increase opportunities for local children and youth by donating 22 computers for classroom instruction and information technology skill development.
The minister stated that access to technology and knowledge are crucial factors in modern education, particularly for students in remote areas with limited educational equipment and resources. By providing computers to the school, students gain tools to research, learn technology, and develop essential future skills.
"I believe that providing educational opportunities creates a future for children," Suchat said. "Having proper learning equipment helps students gain broader perspectives and access knowledge and technology more equitably. This is why I assigned the FIO to organize this educational merit-making activity to benefit the children and community."
Chanudom Petchsangkh, acting director of the FIO, will preside over the ceremony, which will include monks, school officials, teachers, students, and community members. The minister added that the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry's mission extends beyond resource conservation to include community care and promoting sustainable quality of life for youth, ensuring equal access to information and environmental knowledge.
