Apart from the students, higher education institutions and faculty members, the strategy also focuses on an enhancing the role of Thai higher education system in ASEAN bearing in mind that Thailand has to take a leading role in ASEAN higher education.
The strategy encourages the OHEC to work closely to regional agencies such as ASEAN University Network and SEAMEO RIHED on a harmonisation of ASEAN higher education system. The harmonisation will cover the quality assurance, qualifications frameworks, credit transfer and other related issues. Besides, the ASEAN higher education information clearing house must be developed to support the process.
