(February 13, 2025) – As Bangkok embraces digital learning, support from the private sector is making an impact. Sanon Wangsrangboon, Deputy Governor of Bangkok, accepted a donation of 30 Chromebook laptops from Ms. Morakot Yip In Tsoi, Chairperson of Yip In Tsoi Co., Ltd., and Mr. Zheng Su, Global Sales Director of Centerm Co., Ltd.. The devices were handed over to Rajabopit School in Phra Nakhon District, with key education officials, including Ms. Pissamai Ruangsilp, Director of the BMA Education Department, Mr. Songsorn Kanya Na Sunthorn, and Ms. Somrudee Lansucheep, Deputy Directors of the Education Department, present for the occasion. The event took place at Rattanakosin Hall, Bangkok City Hall, Phra Nakhon District.
The newly donated Chromebooks will be distributed to BMA-affiliated schools, equipping classrooms with internet-based learning tools. Teachers will integrate these devices into interactive lesson plans, allowing students to complete assignments, submit homework via Google Classroom, and explore a wealth of educational resources online. The initiative also aims to foster digital literacy through educational games, research projects, and other hands-on activities.
Since 2023, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has received around 1,000 second-hand laptops from donors. These have been distributed to seven pilot schools, which now serve as testbeds for digital learning spaces. The selected schools include:
• Thai Niyom Songkhro School (Bang Khen District)
• Rajabopit School (Phra Nakhon District)
• Wat Pichai School (Lat Krabang District)
• Chum Thang Taling Chan School (Taling Chan District)
• Wat Dusitaram School (Bangkok Noi District)
• Wat Bang Pakok School (Rat Burana District)
• Wichutis School (Din Daeng District)
Each school is developing digital classrooms, where students can familiarize themselves with technology-driven education. The initiative isn’t just about hardware—teachers are encouraged to refine their teaching methods in line with modern education trends. The goal is to enhance student engagement, accelerate digital skills development, and prepare young learners for life in a technology-driven urban environment.
The donation was made under Bangkok’s “Sharing Knowledge, Empowering Students” initiative, supported by Yip In Tsoi Co., Ltd. and Fujian Centerm Information Co., Ltd., a leading global manufacturer of computing technology. Centerm operates under the “Centerm” brand and specializes in digital and information technology solutions.
