THAI SCHOLARS IN CAMBRIDGE

Ten Thai students who have been awarded Royal Thai Government Scholarships for study in the United Kingdom visited Cambridge recently. The students will be studying at Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies (CCSS) and will start their two-year A-level course this September.

Only 25 Thai A-level students are awarded the prestigious scholarship annually and CCSS in Cambridge is one of the few schools nationally chosen for their studies, due to the quality of its A-level tuition. All go on to study at university after completing A-levels.

On their return to Thailand many of these students go on to hold very high positions in various fields and the British education has a big influence on them. One or two have become Prime Ministers in the past, a number become Ambassadors and there are a number of universities in Thailand that are headed by former Science scholars.
