AI is arriving in classrooms faster than most schools can govern it. The devices used by students and teachers are at the heart of this shift and they are among the most exposed points for sensitive student data. Thailand’s total education ICT spend is forecast to grow from $1,166 million in 2025 to $1,710 million in 2030, an 8% five-year CAGR. The bigger question is what that spend buys, and whether the device, security and AI decisions behind it are being made together or one at a time.

Join IDC and Lenovo for a closed-door roundtable with senior IT leaders from Thailand’s education sector to explore how PC, security and AI decisions can be made as one plan, so schools can adopt AI with confidence and keep learners safe.

Key Insights Include:

What an AI-ready school needs from its devices, network and data

Protecting student data as AI tools spread across classrooms and staff

Turning the PC refresh into a security and AI decision

Governing AI and security policy across a school or school group

Funding the shift: making the case for budget in a fast-growing education ICT market
