Dr. Naetchanok Wipatasinlapin, Head of Strategy Division and Education of True Corporation Plc. / Director and Secretary of CONNEXT ED Foundation represented the organizations in handing over the laptops.

True Corporation and CONNEXT ED Foundation also plan to donate an additional 100 refurbished laptops to OBEC to distribute to under-resourced schools nationwide, expanding student access to digital resources. This initiative will empower students to maximize technology for learning, fostering lifelong learning skills.

Pol. Gen. Permpoon Chidchob, Minister of Education said, "The Ministry of Education is committed to implementing the government's 'Quality Learning, Happiness' policy, supporting learning anytime, anywhere, building a lifelong learning society, and reducing educational inequality. Quality learning tools, especially through digital technology, foster sustainable learning environments for students. We are pleased that Setsatian School for the Deaf under the Royal Patronage, dedicated to students with hearing impairments, has received this valuable support. The Ministry, in collaboration with the private sector and Chulalongkorn University, has already provided ICT learning tools for junior high school students, but upper high school students still have a pressing need. True Corporation and CONNEXT ED Foundation's donation of refurbished laptops will enhance the education of upper high school students, ultimately raising educational standards. Besides Setsatian School for the Deaf under the Royal Patronage, plans are in place to expand support to 20 similar schools, ensuring this collaboration significantly benefits Thai children's education."

Dr. Naetchanok Wipatasinlapin, Head of Strategy Division and Education of True Corporation Plc. / Director and Secretary of CONNEXT ED Foundation said that "True Corporation, a leading Thai tech company and founding partner of CONNEXT ED Foundation, is dedicated to supporting sustainable education for Thai youth. We believe that CONNEXT ED Foundation's the 5th strategy of Digital Infrastructure is a key to providing Thai students with knowledge access and skill-building opportunities. Under this collaboration, True and the Foundation initially provided 46 refurbished laptops to Setsatian School for the Deaf under the Royal Patronage for vulnerable students, with an additional 100 laptops planned for donation to the Ministry of Education to distribute to underserved OBEC schools. This aligns with True's commitment to Digital Inclusion, especially for young people, so they can reach their full potential and become essential contributors to the country's future."
