Following the SEC's
launch of the pilot Campaign on Campus project in 2024 which aimed to cultivate
financial and investment as well as fraud awareness knowledge and skills among
students at five universities in Bangkok and its vicinity through edutainment
activities, the project was well-received by the participants, with over 1,230
students joining the activities provided. In this connection, a number of
students took part in the TikTok contest for financial knowledge sharing with
friends through 146 TikTok video clips, generating over 180,000 views and
approximately 23,000 engagements. Ten winners of the contest were selected from
four universities.
In 2025, the SEC thus continued with the Campaign
on Campus Season 2 to further expand the provision of financial and investment
knowledge activities to students in five regions nationwide. The goal is to
cultivate knowledge and understanding about financial planning, appropriate
saving and investing, and awareness of investment scams among the new
generation for their sustainable financial health. This year’s first event was
held at the College of Asian Scholars in Khon Kaen Province on July 23, 2025,
with over 180 interested students participating.
Mr. Anek Yooyuen, SEC Deputy Secretary-General
and Spokesperson revealed, "Promoting financial literacy skills is
one of the SEC's key missions carried out continuously every year. The goal is
to encourage Thai people to make use of the capital market
as a tool for their long-term savings, contributing to financial well-being and
lifelong achievements of their financial goals. The “Campaign on Campus”
project is aligned with the SEC's strategic plan, which aims to provide
age-appropriate financial and investment knowledge for target audiences. The
success of last year's implementation reflects the organization's responsive
arrangements that meet the learning needs of new generation. In 2025, the SEC
plans to conduct the Campaign at no fewer than 15 universities in five regions
nationwide."
The activities for the Campaign on Campus Season
2 will still emphasize the use of "Edutainment" format, which
integrates entertainment elements with the deliberate educational content to
make learning more enjoyable. Key highlights include:
·
Investment Simulation
Game: Provides students with the opportunity to
experiment saving and investing in a variety of products and to practice
analyzing realistic situations.
·
Catch Me If You Can Game: Creates a safeguard for students to be aware of harms
that may arise from investment scams. Knowledge alone may not be comparable to
first-hand experience.
·
Storytelling and Q&A
Activities: Helps make complex
content more enjoyable and easy-to-understand.
· "TikTok Contest" on the topic "Sharing financial and investment
tips with Gen Z" to win scholarships worth a total of 37,000 baht.
