In her remarks, she stressed that the 4th PMCA will provide platforms for the eleven 2021 PMCA Awardees to demonstrate their teaching innovations.

Also, she confirmed the need for stronger collaboration among policymakers, educators, and all sectors of society to educate all children.

"The crisis has brought about many teaching and learning innovations to replace traditional classroom teaching. In relation to this, countries in the region need to adapt their education systems, policies, and practices to assure continued learning for all," said the princess.

The Princess Maha Chakri Award (PMCA) is an international biennial award established in 2015 to commemorate Thailand’s Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s 60th birthday, to honor highly dedicated teachers in Southeast Asia whose significant contributions to education and human development deserve international recognition.

Each PMCA recipient will receive an award package which includes the PMCA brooch, plaque, medal, and certificate of honor, as well as the prize money of US$10,000.

A year after receiving the Award, all PMCA recipients will participate in the PMCA Forum to share their experiences and best practices in improving themselves, and the lives of their students, as well as in serving as examples for other teachers in their respective countries and beyond.

Speaking at the ceremony, Minister of Education of Thailand Treenuch Thienthong expressed commitment to follow Her Royal Highness’s Initiatives in providing support for the upskilling and reskill activities for teachers. Thienthong thanked and encouraged the conference participants for continuous sharing and learning best practices among members of the region in order to recover from the Covid-19 education crisis.

The 2021 PMCA awardees also joined the 2nd International Conference for Equitable Education with the theme: Together Towards Equity, starting the same morning. The four plenaries of the conference are: Technical Vocational Life Skills, Science Education, General Education and English Language Teaching.
