Abstract

As there is a growing demand for better education to prepare the young generation by reducing the knowledge and skill gap; thus, it is important that countries must look into their educational systems and analyze any pitfalls. Educational policies do not come from a vacuum but from the careful drafting of a group of stakeholders who want to bring about a positive change. Therefore, this research paper aims to analyze educational policies currently implemented in Thailand and Finland. The paper also critically examines the facets of Thai and Finnish educational policies, then compares the two countries’ educational policies. Although Thailand and Finland vary in different aspects, especially in their geopolitics and cultural aspects, both countries are ambitious about becoming top-ranking countries for providing the best education. However, major hurdles lay ahead for both countries, and planning carefully to tackle those hurdles will bring significant changes to the educational systems in both countries. As this research paper drew the conclusion that Finland tops the list in providing quality education through its innovative pedagogy, it is recommended that Thailand learn from and adapt to the Finnish education system and introduce significant changes to the education system in the country.
