During the conference, Prof. Boonchai Hongcharu, AACSB International Certified Instructor, was invited to give guidance on the improvement of AACSB certification work in our school. The instructor congratulated and affirmed our improvement report, and stressed that the next step of our work should continue to focus on collecting and accumulating data in three aspects: the ability to deal with the school income market conditions, the construction of the teaching quality assurance system, and the adjustment of the teacher classification standards. At the same time, we should attach importance to the strategic planning and coordination of our school.
