Another international competition that has attracted significant attention is the HIR Academic Writing Competition, organized by the Harvard International Review (HIR).

If the Marshall Society Essay Competition is particularly suitable for students interested in economics, finance, and economic policy, then HIR may be a better fit for those who are passionate about:

🌍 International Relations
🏛️ Political Science and Public Policy
⚖️ Law
📚 Social Sciences and Humanities
🌎 Global issues that shape the future of society

One of HIR’s key strengths is the breadth and diversity of its topics. The competition provides students with an excellent opportunity to develop their research, critical thinking, and academic writing skills within an international context.

For parents who are planning to build a strong portfolio for their children, this is an especially exciting period. Beyond the John Locke Essay Competition, there are several other high-quality academic competitions available, allowing students to choose opportunities that align with their individual interests and aspirations.

✨ Economics → Marshall Society Essay Competition
✨ Politics / International Relations / Public Policy → HIR Academic Writing Competition
✨ PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics) → Both competitions are highly valuable options

A strong portfolio does not necessarily require participation in a large number of competitions. Rather, it should clearly reflect a student’s genuine interests, strengths, and potential. Most importantly, the activities and competitions selected should align with the student’s future academic and career goals.

But when we look deeper, what parents are truly investing in is not merely a school, but the future of their children. It is therefore no surprise that many of Thailand’s leading business families have chosen to invest in education and bring world-renowned school brands to Thailand.
