: Thailand’s student dropout rates have surpassed 1 million in 2023 as academics attribute this to a deteriorating society, political turmoil, and economic downturn, leading parents to remove their children from the education system.
EEF data shows that in 2023, approximately 1,025,514 students dropped out. In previous years, the annual dropout rate was over 500,000, marking a twofold increase. The causes of children dropping out of school are no longer solely attributable to poverty, as they were in the past, according to the report.
There are efforts to address this crisis, such as the “Thailand 0 Dropout” policy, which involves collaboration between the Education Ministry and 11 other agencies, and the “Bring Children Back to School” policy by the Office of the Basic Education Commission.There is an urgent need to actively seek out children who have dropped out of the education system. This includes home visits, providing welfare, finding scholarships, and creating jobs for parents, he suggested.
