Dear Shareholders

In 2023, Thailand had begun to recover from the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the country continued to face economic, political, and social challenges that demanded an urgent adjustment from all sectors.

SE-ED was no exception. Like every organization in the country, we sought to strengthen our organization in the face of both domestic and international challenges. Even though our earnings this year showed a positive sign due to our adjustment, we needed to acknowledge that our performance still fell short of the Board’s expectations and likely failed to meet the expectations of the shareholders and all our stakeholders. The management team is aware of the need to work smarter and harder this year and in the coming years.

SE-ED recognizes the importance of business sustainability. We have focused on creating a common understanding among our teams, partners, and business allies in adding value to knowledge-building and skill-developing products and services that will enhance the learning of our society and provide sustainable benefits for everyone involved.

In addition, SE-ED is aware of the urgency of climate change. We have implemented standard practices in our governance, risk management, and other management areas to comply with the new standards.

Despite the risks in the economic, political, and social sectors, as well as the risks from climate change that demand appropriate management, we can take refuge in the internationally acknowledged fact that ‘reading’ is the best and most important way to develop human potential to work alongside AI. For this reason, SE-ED is committed to making our best effort to cultivate a reading habit for the Thai people.

Finally, I would like to thank all shareholders, committee members, management staff, employees, and everyone involved for your understanding of our situation and cooperation. Your continued support drives us toward achieving sustainable growth and strength for our organization in the near future.

(Mr. Kasemsant Weerakun)
Chairman of the Board of Directors
