The major research efforts under the 1998 Mobusho International Scientific Research Program (Project No.08045010) consisted of the following two activities : (1) surveying the outcome of the Thai's initiative for implementing the universal secondary education, and (2) holding a workshop for presenting papers and the results of surveys conducted by each researcher held at the Graduate School of International Development, Nagoya University in October 28-29,1998. Surveys were conducted by Professor Wakabayashi with an assistance by Thai colleagues in Roi-Et Province in September, 1998 to find the achievement of the province's accelerated program for extending the transitional rate from Grade 6 to Grade 7. The achievement was found fine, with the transitional rate being achieved at 86% in 1996. Professors Hirosato and Lekuthai conducted a questionnaire survey in Nakon Rachasima Province involving the local schools' policies and actual treatments for students graduating from the G-9 classes … More . They found that students were not given enough information and guidance as to the possible choice alternatives to decide on their future careers after the G-9 level education. Professors Ushiogi (head researcher) and Sukontasap conducted research on policy related issues for universalizing the secondary education in Asia and Thailand respectively.All researchers wrote papers based on the results of their survey activities. These papers were presented at the research workshop held in GSID,Nagoya University in the end of October, 1998. Two additional faculties participated in the workshop : Professors Supatra Lohvacharakut and Sumalee Pitayanonm, Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Chulalongkorn University. Professor Pitayanon contributed her paper at the workshop. The publication list shown in the following section (References) exhibit authors and titles of articles contributed by researchers. As conclusions of the research, it was pointed out that : (1) the Thailand universal secondary education program is going to achieve its initially set target for increasing the transitional rate from G-6 to G-7 as planned, although some regional differences are created, (2) career guidance services to be provided for students graduating from the G-9 level are at the embryonic stage and more efforts are needed in this area (especially in the area of vocational education and training), and (3) the secondary education looks like diverging into two separate courses, vocational and academic ones, as a result of universal lower secondary education, Less
