Our first Thai Qualifications Framework (TQF) workshop of 2015 was Friday morning. During coffee afterwards, the overall view of the presentation from those in attendance was it provided a greater understanding of the requirements.

TQF for Thailand’s higher education system is designed to support implementation of the educational guidelines set out in the National Education Act, to ensure consistency in both standards and award titles for higher education qualifications, and to make clear the equivalence of academic awards with those granted by higher education institutions in other parts of the world.

The Framework will help to provide appropriate points of comparison in academic standards for institutions in their planning and internal quality assurance processes, for evaluators involved in external reviews, and for employers, in understanding the
skills and capabilities of graduates they may employ.
