Government pushes forward with 'Thailand Zero Dropout Plus' project, aiming to solve the issue of students dropping out of the education system
The Thai government has announced the continued implementation of the 'Thailand Zero Dropout Plus' policy, focusing on addressing the issue of children and youth dropping out of the education system. This is considered a vital mission for developing the country's human resources to be high-quality and prepared for future growth.
The Prime Minister has emphasized that education is the most important foundation for national development. Children dropping out of the education system not only affects the children themselves but also impacts the overall Thai economy and society in the long term. Therefore, the government prioritizes tracking and assisting these children to return to the learning system or vocational training.
The project's main goal is to integrate cooperation from various agencies, including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, and local authorities, to identify children who have dropped out of the education system and provide appropriate support tailored to individual needs, whether through scholarships or by making learning formats more flexible.
The success of this project will help reduce educational inequality and create opportunities for all Thai youth to fully develop their potential. The government is confident that investing in children and youth is the most worthwhile investment to build a high-quality workforce that will serve as a key driver for Thailand in the future.
