SAN ANTONIO, TX, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Introducing an educational outreach program for 1.8 million Private School students in Thailand combining a prepaid debit card with an online learning module about credit and financial responsibility.

This week SMKG signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The GoodNetwork System Co., Ltd., the owner of distribution and operational rights for "The L.E.A.P. Smart Learning System", to be the exclusive provider of prepaid debit cards and payment platform solutions to the parents and students of private schools in Thailand. GoodNetwork has licensed their L.E.A.P. Smart Learning System to the Private School Association of Thailand, covering 3,800 private, vocational and Private International schools with a total enrollment of 1.8 million students.

The program is designed so that at the completion of the Financial Responsibility module of L.E.A.P., the student will receive a prepaid debit card. Cash rewards for extra-curricular learning and community service are paid to the students through their prepaid card. Parents, schools and corporate sponsors provide the money for the rewards.
