Hej
Att många familjer i Thailand har haft det svårt ekonomiskt under pandemin är ju känt, liksom att skolorna har hållit stängt periodvis och många barn har nu börjat jobba för att hjälpa sina familjer att försörja sig, andra som vill studera har helt enkelt inte längre råd. Detta har nu lett till att ca 1.2 miljoner barn har hoppat av skolan.

Some 1.2 million children have dropped out of school in Thailand as a result of poverty, family issues and other factors that make it hard or impossible for them to study, the Education Council said.
In all, 16 percent of school-aged children are not studying in any formal settings, with the rate especially high in economically and socially disadvantaged communities, according to experts.
Throughout last year and 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, which battered the Thai economy and kept schools closed for prolonged periods, many students dropped out permanently as many were required to start working to support their families, experts said.
