BANGKOK -- Thailand must overhaul the education system, which will take up to 20 years, before the country can harvest the full benefits of its Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) investment zone, according to John D. Kasarda, chief adviser to the EEC's "aerotropolis" project.
The aerotropolis, to be developed within the EEC, is intended to be an "airport smart-city," accommodating high-tech industries to produce high-value products and export them worldwide with seamless transport connectivity.
