Chapters 3 and 4, discusses the principles, and implications of governance, and administration, while arguing that certain principles, including attention to market forces, should guide policy decision-making. Chapter 5 stresses on the quality of education outcomes, by setting performance standards, assessing student, teacher, and school performance, and, harnessing technology to support education, and learning development, while Chapter 6, examines the cost implications of the reform program. The background papers look beyond schooling, examining the actual recruitment of workers in this increasing global economy. 2013-08-29T20:14:15Z 2013-08-29T20:14:15Z 2001-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2001/08/1561449/thailand-secondary-education-employment-vol-2-2-background-papers http://hdl.handle.net/10986/15494 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC East Asia and Pacific Thailand
