Students need to be curious to engage and learn. Therefore, tertiary education in Thailand needs to focus more on curiosity to produce the quality of professionals society needs. However, from my experience in the Thai tertiary system, student engagement and learning are limited except for only some elite programs. Sometimes deliberately so. Wander around universities and listen to the discussions. Ask a few penetrative questions in the hallways and cafeterias around using what is taught note the responses. Few would reach applying or analysing levels in Bloom's Taxonomy. Rote learning requires little effort by lecturers and learners. Academics could focus on research and other jobs while students focus on passing exams.
