As part of the president’s Thailand Zero Dropout Policy, the Education Ministry is working harder to get as many students as possible back into the classrooms next month. More than 360, 000 students have been returned to schools.
A study by the Ministry found that a total of 1, 025, 514 toddlers aged 3-18 dropped away in 2024. Of them, 767, 304 were Thai babies, and the rest were the children of unusual citizens.
Of the Thai kids, 365, 231 or 47.6 % were brought back to school, while the rest are also excluded from the country’s compulsory education system. For foreign children, 31, 816 or 12.32 % returned to school.
Education Minister Permpoon Chidchob stated that the administration’s Thai Zero Dropout strategy aims to promote education equality by addressing the issue of school dropouts.
He claimed that the ministry has developed programs to return dropouts to school that are conventional, non-formal, and casual.
” We will guarantee all Thai kids receive forced knowledge”, Pol Gen Permpoon said.
Other than the schools under the Ministry of Education, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration supervises or is the basic education policy and planning bureau under the Office of the Basic Education Commission ( OBE ).
Additionally, Mr. Niyom asserted that Obec may transfer their schooling directly to their homes if school students want to continue their education but are unable to do so for any purpose.
” Flexible courses will become designed to suit their requirements,” he said.
