experience in other teaching disciplines earn the qualifications necessary to teach disabled students.
Students must be bachelor's degree holders, often with teaching experience and a basic teaching
certification. The certificate prepares teachers to individualize lesson plans and instruction to meet the
needs of those with varying disabilities.
This Certificate program is funded by Educational Promotion and Development Fund for
Handicapped under Office of Basic Education Commission (OBEC), aiming to provide an in-service
training for updating teachers’ skills and knowledge in Special Education. Educational Promotion and
Development Fund for Handicapped is offering 70 fully funded scholarships, academic year 2021
for teachers under Ministry of Education who are teaching students with disabilities.
NOTE: the 70 graduates of the program would benefit approximately 2,000 students in the Bangkok metropolitan and nearby provinces each year.
