The partnership will deliver comprehensive financial education through training sessions, workshops, and tailored financial-planning advisory services, focusing on students who are beginning to manage their own finances. The curriculum will focus on saving, personal financial management, and building financial discipline. For faculty members, staff, and alumni, the program will offer guidance on financial planning, investment, and retirement readiness, aligned with different financial needs and life goals across stages of life.
Prof. Piyamitr Sritara, M.D., President of Mahidol University, said, "Mahidol University is firmly committed to empowering our students, staff, and alumni with academic excellence, future-ready competencies, and essential life skills that enable them to navigate an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. Financial literacy and financial discipline, in particular, are fundamental to achieving long-term financial well-being and resilience. Our collaboration with Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited (Krungsri) represents an important opportunity to provide the Mahidol community with practical knowledge, insights from industry experts, and meaningful real-world learning experiences. Through comprehensive financial literacy initiatives, this partnership will not only strengthen individual capabilities and financial security, but also contribute to developing a highly capable and resilient workforce that is well prepared to adapt, grow, and thrive amid future challenges."
Ms. Duangdao Wongpanitkrit, Krungsri Chief Finance and Strategy Officer, said, "As financial institutions today must do more than provide financial services; we must also contribute to holistic social development. Krungsri believes that a sustainable life begins with financial stability. When individuals are financially secure, they have the stability and capacity to care for themselves and their families and to contribute meaningfully to society. That is the guiding principle behind this collaboration."
This collaboration underscores that true sustainability cannot be achieved by any single organization alone; it requires the combined efforts of business and academia to build a foundation of financial literacy that benefits students and university personnel throughout their lives.
