The Ministry of Education, led by Minister Prasert Chantararuangthong, has announced significant progress regarding the long-stalled construction project of the aquatic animal education center, or Songkhla Aquarium, located at Tinsulanonda Fisheries College under the Office of the Vocational Education Commission (OVEC). The mobile Cabinet meeting held on September 1, 2026, officially acknowledged the ministry's proposal to revitalize the halted facility.
To address the multi-faceted issues surrounding the long-abandoned structure, the ministry has initiated the establishment of a specialized collaborative framework. This task force is designed to integrate expertise and cooperation from various relevant sectors to ensure a thorough investigation into why the development came to a halt.
The newly formed 8-party joint committee comprises key administrative bodies, including the Office of the Vocational Education Commission and the Songkhla provincial government, alongside other relevant stakeholders tasked with pooling their resources to evaluate the situation objectively.

The Songkhla Fisheries College aquarium project represents a classic case of public infrastructure stalling due to long-term bureaucratic and operational hurdles. By establishing an 8-party joint committee during a regional mobile Cabinet meeting, the government is signaling a coordinated push to resolve legacy issues and determine whether to rehabilitate or repurpose the existing structure efficiently.
The primary mandate entrusted to the 8-party committee involves conducting a rigorous study and analysis of the underlying problems, followed by formulating practical remediation strategies. Minister Prasert has stipulated a strict operational timeframe, requiring the committee to finalize and report its comprehensive findings and solutions within 90 days.
