After discovering that more than 1 million students had stopped their formal training early, the government will start a project to discover and help children who have dropped out of school.
According to official Chai Wacharonke, the state has a” Thailand Zero Dropout” policy in place to try to return all students to school.
The program consists of four steps.
The second involves searching for abandoned students using a collection of associated organizations. The next two steps are to assist those children in returning to school, and then to provide them with a curriculum that best fits their specific needs so they can fulfill their potential.
The final step is to promote private companies to join, such as by providing fellowships.
This quarter, the government plans to launch the Thailand Zero Dropout app to help with identifying and tracking the project’s development.
After discovering that 1.02 million children between the ages of 3 and 18 years old, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin is concerned about the country’s potential. He commanded the parties involved to resolve the conflict as quickly as possible, according to Mr. Chai.
The announcement comes after Sompong Chitradab, an executive director of the Equitable Education Fund ( EEF), stated on Monday that there is a serious issue with students leaving the educational system at the start of the year.
The EEF found that 1, 025, 514 kids dropped out in 2023, double that of the past year. The earlier regular was about 500, 000 a year. He claimed that some students drop out before making it to high school.
However, recent research indicates that more children are leaving the program at another transitional points, such as transitioning from middle school to vocational school.
Hunger used to be the root cause, but then fragile elections that create confusion about the labour market, opportunities, and the market are also being blamed, as they lead more families to take their kids out of college, Mr Sompong said.
