The OECD London Conference 2016-2017 program involved 1,500 students and 60 teachers from 60 experimental schools in 10 provinces. Teachers received a one term intervention training focusing on creativity and critical thinking. The program had positive impacts, improving students' and teachers' perceptions of creativity and critical thinking. Students reported positive responses to new teaching and learning activities, and Thai students showed strong improvement in divergent thinking. The Ministry of Education of Thailand has expanded its support of the program over three years, increasing participating schools to 400 and education supervisors to support national scaling up.
