Our study also reveals that, in the case of educational and cultural programs in Thai local administration, collaborations are still restricted. In many developed societies, scholars and practitioners alike have found that higher educational achievements would be realized when local communities collaborate (Bardach 1998; Hannaway 1993; Meier and O’Toole 2001, 2003; OECD 1989; Sayed 1997; Smith and Wohlstetter 2006; UNESCO 2001; Weiler 1993). Partnerships in education may help schools increase service quality by providing access to additional resources and to the transfer of knowledge and expertise (Smith and Wohlstetter 2006). This being the case, Thai local governments should be encouraged to promote more collaborative approaches in this policy area. Future research here may be needed to provide Thai administrators with additional evidence of the benefits of local educational networks, especially from the experience of Thailand.
