Education in Thailand
All children have access to free, compulsory education from the age of six to twelve years of age. Almost ninety percent of primary school children attend either public schools or those run by Buddhist monasteries. In 1995-96, there were about six million students enrolled in primary schools. After the primary years, the attendance rates drop to just over fifty percent for secondary education, during the same school year listed above, only 3.8 million children attended lower- or upper-elementary schools.
The Thai government is talking about raising the required six years of education to nine years, although Thailand's literacy rate is one of the highest in Southeast Asia, at almost 95%.
There are many universities to choose from and and over 600,000 students did enroll and attend institutions of higher learning during the early 90s. The largest universities in Thailand are located in Bangkok (Chulalongkorn University, established in 1917) and in the north (Chiang Mai University, established in 1964).
In my opinion,when i was in high school, I graduated Mathayom-3 from Saint Joseph Convent School and I went to study in New Zealand for a while. I realized it was a big different between Thai education and New Zealand education.There it study by doing a things but in Thailand, they teach by reading the books. It is hard for student in Thailand to understand the lesson.
They have a small percentage of the people who do not study after they graduated from primary school.
this one is much better than the first one with your personal comments. But try to make it more interesting and the orignal link. ()
