BANGKOK, Dec. 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei, JA Solar, UNESCO,
and Thailand's Ministry of
Education have officially launched the Green Education Project in
Thailand, aiming to develop a new
generation of green-skilled and digitally empowered learners.
Running under Huawei's TECH4ALL initiative, the project will
bring clean energy solutions and training in Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) skills to 11 Thai schools and
community hubs.
A newly installed solar-powered rooftop for Banna District
Learning Encouragement Center, which is one of the first two
project beneficiaries, marked the official launch of the project on
December 3 in Nakhon Nayok.
"The Green Education Project is more than a CSR project—it's a
long-term investment in Thailand's
youth and future," said David Li,
CEO of Huawei Thailand. "By combining clean energy solutions with
hands-on education, we aim to create a model for sustainable growth
and inclusion."
By equipping schools and communities with renewable energy
systems and fostering technical skills, the project aims to help
address key challenges in education and energy in Thailand, particularly in underserved rural
areas. It is also part of a broader national drive for green
innovation.
The first two project beneficiaries will deliver a range of
digital and technical skills for local communities in the field of
green energy and sustainability.
- Banna District Learning Encouragement Center is a community hub
in Nakhon Nayok. It will provide free training in green energy and
digital literacy, aiming to bridge the skills gap in underserved
regions.
- Kanchanapisek Vocational Training College in Nong Chok will use donated PV systems to teach
students installation, maintenance, and operations, providing
valuable technical skills for future employment.
The potential of Thailand's
Green Education Project has been well-received by local schools and
teachers.
"This project is a powerful example of how collaboration between
global companies and local schools can create meaningful change.
The donated solar equipment will provide our students with hands-on
experience in installing and maintaining renewable energy systems,
which will give them a competitive edge in the job market," said
Tisakorn Klinbooppha, Director of Banna District Learning
Encouragement Center.
Three pillars guide the Green Education Project:
- Green Schools for Secondary Education will install
rooftop solar systems in secondary schools and provide training for
teachers and students on the benefits and operation of green
energy.
- Green Schools for Vocational Education aims to empower
students at technical and vocational institutions to work hands-on
with photovoltaic systems, preparing them for careers in the
booming renewable energy sector.
- Green Communities will support public libraries and
learning encouragement centers with renewable energy and mobile
digital education programs, including training in green energy and
cybersecurity via Huawei's Digital Bus.
The Huawei Digital Bus has already provided free training on
green energy, cybercrime awareness, and telecommunications for
students in Nakhon Nayok. To date, the bus has toured 10 remote
provinces in Thailand, providing
4,500 students with the knowledge and skills to help drive a
sustainable future.
Thailand's push to adopt
renewable energy aligns with the government's efforts to modernize
education and equip students with future-ready skills. As part of
this, TECH4ALL project partner JA Solar is committed to supporting
Thailand's energy transition,
empowering students with practical knowledge, and making a lasting
difference in communities.
Moving forward, Huawei, JA Solar, and partners will expand the
project's reach, inviting more organizations to join the mission of
empowering the next generation with the skills and tools to create
a sustainable Thai society.
