Government schools in South Thailand


A Visit to Government schools in South Thailand
Here is an update from Pappet.

"I was blessed to join a study tour team for three (3) days to some Thai government schools in the south of Thailand. The study tour was sponsored by the gov't so that migrant school teachers and personnels will be able to see and know what the gov't is doing with the migrant children from Burma and Cambodia. This is the first time that the Thai Ministry of Education has done this. I learned a lot about how they assimilated Burmese and migrant children into their school. The difference however is that their schools are Thai government schools. Elpis School is not a Thai government school. It is purely a school for migrant children ( meaning children that do not have Thai citizenship and are only here in Thailand because their parents are either refugees or factory workers). However I think many of their ideas in assimilating migrants into the school are good."
