In the world of stepping up the educational game, where every nation wants a piece of the top spot, Thailand’s education system finds itself doing the unexpected shimmy on the global stage. Ranked 107th out of 203 countries by the World Population Review, the news was akin to a spicy Tom Yum update for the nation, stirring the educational pot and raising a few eyebrows among officials cozying up in their offices.
