Government moves forward with 'Thailand Zero Dropout Plus' project, aiming to bring Thai children back into the education system
The Thai government has announced the continued implementation of the 'Thailand Zero Dropout Plus' policy, with a key goal of addressing the issue of children and youth dropping out of the education system to ensure equal learning opportunities for every child in the country.
The Prime Minister emphasized that resolving the issue of children dropping out of the education system is one of the most important investments for the nation, as it develops human capital that will grow into a vital force for driving the Thai economy and society in the future.
Over the past 2-3 years, the government has endeavored to collect data and track groups of children who have dropped out of the system in order to bring them back to continue their education or undergo vocational training suited to the needs of the labor market, with the cooperation of various relevant sectors.
This project does not only focus on returning children to schools in a traditional format, but also includes creating new alternatives, such as vocational education and specialized skills training, so that every child can become self-reliant and enjoy a better quality of life in the long term.
The government is confident that the serious implementation of this policy will help reduce educational inequality and serve as a stable foundation for the country's continued progress and sustainable development.
