This is pretty terrifying, to be honest. The implications for the education sector are certainly going to be felt, as fewer children are born and are sent to international schools in Thailand. Teachers, and schools, will have to adapt. Competition for teaching jobs will increase initially - this is where high quality qualifications and experience will become essential for educators looking for new roles, or looking to stay in current positions. Job security in Thailand's international school sector is no longer something to be taken for granted. International schools in Thailand will have to do more to attract new students, as the ratio of avaliable schools to prospective students enlargens. Setting up international exchange programs, I believe, will be a huge determining factor in the future success of such institutions. International school leaders - start making those vital connections with embassies and consulates now, and get that ball rolling. FYI - FOBISIA and COBIS - Council of British International Schools

European leaders are keenly focused on cost—not just reducing it, but managing it strategically to fuel future growth. According to Jacopo Piccolo Brunelli, “Tackling cost more holistically through fundamental business practices—better governance, a certain level of technology and investment, and driving productivity—leads to greater change, deeper change, and more sustainable change if you can get it right.” The true challenge in cost transformation within the European market lies not merely in achieving initial savings but in ensuring these benefits endure over time.
