Thailand Education and Procurement of Electronic Devices
Thailand’s Ministry of Education has launched the “Anywhere Anytime” project, a six-year national initiative (2026–2031) with a total budget of $800 million to enhance digital access and learning outcomes for public school students. The project, broken into three phases, involves procuring 2.6 million tablets and laptops for public schools. In phase one, the government plans to spend approximately $250 million to procure and distribute devices to over 600,000 students, alongside digital learning solutions such as online courses and interactive learning applications. U.S. companies specializing in educational hardware, digital learning platforms, e-learning content, curriculum integration, and student performance analytics are well-positioned to support this initiative.
This program is a key pillar of Thailand’s broader digital transformation agenda, aimed at improving nationwide digital literacy, equity in education, and long-term workforce competitiveness. The program will prioritize the procurement of high-quality educational technology hardware and software. U.S. companies that manufacture or supply educational hardware and digital learning tools are ideal partners for this project, especially as the government looks to procure educational devices, such as laptops, tablets, and related digital learning tools that meet rigorous standards for educational use.
