Risks and Opportunities
Education is an important tool for human life. Basic education is a fundamental right and a vital factor that opens social opportunities, creates sustainable career paths, and drives communities and the country to progress efficiently. However, there are still many without access to quality education. In this regard, the Company takes part in providing access and opportunities to education for children, youth, and vulnerable groups—they are to have equal access to basic education and lifelong learning, both in formal and informal education, through a variety of academic programs. The objective is to encourage youths to have knowledge and skills to further their careers as well as support them to grow up to be “smart and good people” for society.

Management Approach
The rationale begins with the realization that knowledge is an opportunity and a future for youth and the nation. CP ALL Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) have been continually working on education-oriented projects and the agenda of lifelong learning—enabling people to thrive amidst changes in the employment landscape with the acquisition of new skills. The approach includes building a positive attitude, developing new learning challenges, and encouraging enthusiasm for learning, so the youths can be able to adapt to various changes in the future. The Company also continuously delivers academic opportunities for youths by collaborating with other stakeholders, establishing an academic institution, delivering knowledge in the form of learning both inside and outside the classroom, along with on-the-job training and awarding scholarships. The approach of youth development began in 1995 as a guideline to create career opportunities and improve the quality of life for youth. The Company believes that quality education can create career opportunities and a better quality of life for the people in society.
In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic tremendously affected youths’ access to education. The Company, therefore, develops online teaching and learning system for students, so they have reduced risks of infection and the new method of learning makes education easier, faster, and safe from the COVID-19 pandemic. Examples of new activities and measures regarding the issue are body temperature screening before entering the school, wearing a mask, social distancing, and regular cleaning of equipment and school premises—this is for the highest safety of all students and staff in the school.
