MTCC has been supporting Wat Krachang, a public school in Ayutthaya, located in Bangsai, for several years. This collaboration, initiated during Mr. Yeap Swee Chuan’s presidency, has involved numerous corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaigns with the aim of enhancing education quality, improving the school environment and enhancing the skills of both teachers and students. MTCC has undertaken various projects, including constructing new toilets, donating computers and providing English teachers. Wat Krachang, accommodating 180 students from kindergarten to Matthayom 3 (ages 3–15), operates under the supervision of the Ayutthaya Primary Education Office (Area 2) within the Ministry of Education. Given the school’s vulnerability to floods, a recurring issue in flood-prone Ayutthaya, MTCC emphasizes the importance of supporting the school financially, with knowledge, and through various opportunities.
EDUTEN MATHEMATIC PROGRAM
In collaboration with the Education and Skills Committee of the Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce Thailand (JFCCT), MTCC recently organized a CSR program. The goal was to raise funds for 150 students to access an online Eduten mathematics course spanning Pratom 1 to Mathayom 3. Eduten, a spin-off of the University of Turku, offers Finland’s renowned digital learning platform globally. Recognized with the UNESCO ICT for Education Prize in 2020 and the UNICEF Blue Unicorn Award in 2022, Eduten has demonstrated its effectiveness since 2011, serving over 1.4 million users across various countries. Since March 2023, Eduten has provided training courses and trial accounts for teachers to set up and assess the program’s impact on students’ mathematical knowledge. The positive feedback during the trial period indicates significant improvements in students’ mathematical skills.
MTCC successfully mobilized its members to contribute funds, covering 150 accounts at 750 baht each for the school. Eduten also generously donated 30 free accounts for kindergarten students. The program is scheduled to run from October 2023 to March 2025, with MTCC members thanked for their participation and encouraged to continue supporting the initiative in 2025.
