During the Cabinet meeting held on October 20, 2026, at Government House, officials reviewed several key agendas, including the structural reshuffle and appointment of high-ranking civil servants. The Ministry of Education submitted nominations for three prominent executive positions to ensure the continuous operation and reform of the nation's educational framework.
The Cabinet officially endorsed the Ministry of Education's proposal, securing the placement of Tier-10 senior executives across three major educational administration bodies:
- Mr. Pichet Wanthong assumes the role of Secretary-General of the Office of the Teachers Civil Service Commission (OTEPC), Office of the Permanent Secretary.
- Mr. Suphachai Chanpum takes up the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC).

Senior executive appointments at Tier-10 level within the Ministry of Education serve as a critical catalyst for implementing national educational policies. The position of OTEPC Secretary-General, in particular, holds direct responsibility over human resources and personnel management for teachers nationwide, making effective leadership vital for bureaucratic efficiency and institutional morale.
The Cabinet wrapped up its deliberations on these administrative adjustments after reviewing all related proposals, allowing the newly appointed officials to officially assume their responsibilities and advance the urgent missions of their respective departments according to regulatory procedures.
