The University of Saint Louis (USL) administrators and basic education academic leaders participated in a four-day series of benchmarking sessions in Bangkok, Thailand last June 23-26, 2019.

The benchmarking was meant for the participants to learn from the experiences of select Thai basic education schools, both public and private.
