However, a recent English proficiency ranking suggests Thailand needs a major and urgent revamp of its English education system. According to the annual English Proficiency Index released last week by the global language education company, EF Education First, Thailand's overall proficiency score has dropped for the third year in a row. The low score is no surprise, as the country lacks a clear strategy to improve English education in schools. There are many new-generation English teachers who are ready to help if the curriculum is reformed to support them. The issue must be on the national agenda as English proficiency is key to increasing the potential of the country's human capital.
