Abstract

   This research entitled The Educational Strategy of the People’s Republic of China under the Administration of President Xi Jinping aims to 1) examine the strategic educational concepts of China under President Xi Jinping’s administration, 2) analyze the strengths and weaknesses of China’s educational strategies during Xi Jinping’s leadership, and 3) propose recommendations for improving Thailand’s educational strategies in alignment with those of President Xi Jinping. This study employs qualitative approach, and the data are gathered from the review of documents and relevant studies on China’s educational strategies. Interpretative analysis is used to identify interconnected information.

   The findings, aligned with the three research objectives, reveal that China’s educational strategies under Xi Jinping consist of ten core strategies, with a strong emphasis on developing new theories and practical approaches. The strategies focus on encouraging public cooperation in building a better quality of life, promoting national prosperity, instilling patriotism, and raising political consciousness. In terms of educational quality, integrated learning is emphasized. In terms of strengths, China’s educational strategies demonstrate significant investment in improving educational quality, promoting equity, and integrating technology into the educational system. However, the study also identifies several weaknesses, such as pressure from the examination system, developmental gaps in rural human resources, and limited curriculum diversity. To improve Thailand’s educational strategy in alignment with the of China, it is suggested that the key principles and approaches from China’s policies which focus on enhancing technological capabilities, innovation, and the global competitiveness of the population should be adopted. These principles could also elevate and internationalize Thailand’s education system.
