Tracie,

Would you be kind enough to post some details.

Are Thai national children elegable?

Thanks

OECD report abused ????

Its the same report that all other nations recieve, and they dont say the report is " misunderstood "

You talk like you have a vested interest in schools, and not as a parent that considers their childs education to be utmost and formost priority.

As for my childs future - I will guide that - thankyou

My sincere thanks to both Cooked and Bikerlou47 for their input on this subject.

After all, the children are our future

English is the language of the world, but here in Thailand, the world doesnt exist outside the Thai border.

The reason the children here cannot even speak English, is because they are not taught the " Phonics System " of speaking.

A sounds like Ahh , B sounds like Buhh Etc, and there is very little access to any childrens books that are in English.

Pattaya Beach Bookshop in the mall on the second floor of "TOPS Supermarket " has some, but the gentleman that owns the store told me the Thai schools take them all out and never return them - What a surprise

My child is fluent in both Thai and English thankfully, but I dont want here talent to be ruined here.

From the small amount of info I have been able to gleen, there is a system here whereby the parents of the children do the education / teaching of the children. I have been led to believe that in order to do this, you must first register the child at a school, and sign a declaration that you will do the education at home. You then purchase the relevant curriculum material from the school ( books Etc ) The child is then educated by the parents following the curriculum as laid down.
At the end of course (term ) the child then sits the exam for which they have been studying at the school of registration along with all the other children. Of course, the info that available is very scarce - as you would expect here, and the schools are very reluctant to assist in any way because they loose the student fees. Maybe there are other forum members that can clarify this information ?
I have been prompted to look into this option because I can see my childs performance slowly eroding due to bad teachers and schooling. Did you know, Thailand was ranked at number 50 out of 65 developing nations in a O.E.C.D. PISA report in mid December 2013 The ranking was about 20 % below the average of all the nations surveyed - Vietnam was appprox 20 % above the average As for a good school in Pattaya ? When you find it let us all know

Hello forum members,

Has anybody enrolled in a home / online schooling course for their children here in Thailand ?

As a parent that is totally dissapointed by the poor standard of education here in Thailand, I am thinking of educating my child here, at home, myself.

has anybody had experience of this, and could you offer me some advise on this matter, as I am not even sure how to start going about this.

thanks

We should not be too surprised by this topic

just another pretentious Thai

For a nation that treats fish with such reverence in the culture, there really is a distinct lack of knowledge and the will to treat and look after fish well
