The English is a Secound Official Language in Thailand

The Thai government is urged to announce English as its second official language to spur students to achieve English proficiency and help the nation place itself on the road map to the Asean Community in 2015. The announcement was made by a subcommittee on education standards development working under the committee on education reform.The subcommittee hopes it will be a boost for English teaching and learning in schools, which is seen as falling short despite state efforts to encourage students to learn the language from as early as Prathom 1 level. Although, the growing importance of the Chinese language in the business sector, English is still considered the most influential language for international communication.



I think it is a good chance for students. They can learn English since Prathom 1 level. When they grow up, they can use English for their life and job. English is the most important language because people around the world use English to communicate with their job or business. Thai people should speak English because it essential for their life.
