26-7-2023 (BANGKOK) In an effort to increase educational opportunities for underprivileged children in Thailand, nine schools formerly known as “Sueksa Songkhro” schools have been taken under royal patronage, according to Education Minister Trinuch Thienthong. The move was announced on Monday, with the schools now being referred to as “Rajaprajanugroh” schools.
Previously, these schools were registered with the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC), a section of the Education Ministry. However, the management of these educational institutions now falls under the auspices of the Rajaprajanugroh Foundation under Royal Patronage.
The schools included in this initiative are Sueksa Songkhro Bang Kruai School in Nonthaburi, Sueksa Songkhro Mae Hong Son School in Mae Hong Son, Sueksa Songkhro Chiang Mai School in Chiang Mai, Sueksa Songkhro Chiang Dao School in Chiang Mai, Sueksa Songkhro Mae Chan School in Chiang Rai, Sueksa Songkhro Thawat Buri School in Roi Et, Sueksa Songkhro Surat Thani School in Surat Thani, Sueksa Songkhro Phatthalung School in Phatthalung, and Sueksa Songkhro Narathiwat School in Narathiwat.
The move is expected to provide a boost to the education system in these areas and is aimed at improving the quality of education for underprivileged children. This marks a significant change for the schools and is expected to bring about positive changes in the quality of education delivered to students in these institutions.
The Rajaprajanugroh Foundation under Royal Patronage was established by His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn with the aim of promoting the well-being of the Thai people. The foundation has been involved in a range of activities and initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for people across the country.
The Education Minister expressed her gratitude to His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn for his support of this initiative and his commitment to improving the education system in Thailand. The move is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of underprivileged children in these areas, providing them with access to quality education and greater opportunities for the future.
This move is part of a broader effort by the Thai government to improve the education system in the country and provide greater opportunities for all children.
