The higher education system in Thailand is quite complex and has lacked policy cohesion. It is
under responsibility of 10 ministries and 1 independent agency. Key Ministries are the Ministry
of Education (MOE) and the Ministry of University Affairs (MUA). Others are Public Health,
Agriculture and Cooperatives, Defenses, Transport and Communications, Justice, Science,
Technology and the Environment, Office of the Prime Minister and the Thai Red Cross.
