2.2  Upgrade the capabilities of community organizations in social development and improving quality of life.

  1. Delegate administrative authority for the provision of education to local communities, so that they can increasingly participate in setting educational curricula consistent with each communities’ actual circumstances and responsive to local needs, while increasing opportunities nationwide for children finishing compulsory education to continue their studies.

  2. Provide greater access to information for the general public, with the cooperation of community organizations, NGOs and the public sector.

  3. Provide budget assistance to NGOs and community organizations to help them provide for under-privileged groups with poor access to public services.

  4. Improve public health services in the regions - which will include redistribution of resources and key personnel - to close the marked gap in service delivery between the Bangkok Metropolitan Region and the other regions and rural areas.

  5. Accelerate the restructuring of local taxation systems, so as to generate sufficient income for local authorities to provide universal access to social services.
