Please give me a link to this. 

You don’t know how to google?

 

I suspect someone in your family has pocketed it and now asking you to pay.

Normally, aged 4 is still in kindergarten 3... Normally, KG does not wear or go to scouting. It is really up to the school but most do not require this. 

If by chance (which I doubt because I have a 4 year old son) is in Kg he will have 3 different sets of uniforms. Student, sports and thai costume. 

When getting to Primary 1 he will need to buy scouting uniforms if the school requires this. However, they most likely will not need the Thai costume. The laws are open for the director to choose if a full scouting uniform is required or partial. 

Why are you pasting Mr Thetsat's reply earlier? And please take the time to read my reply to him.

Thinking about it, we used to get all manner of free stuff from the government when my kid was in primary. I think we also got a monthly "welfare" payment like B750 or some such

The government actually gives the money out for this to all schools, but some schools just keep the money. 

Actually... the schools do not do this. It is up to the parent to apply for the money from the MOE. The school also gets money per student to pay for their schooling.

Good morning Mr Thesatat. This is NOT a troll post, and cannot imagine why you think it may be.

My grandson was born on 10th October 2020, so is 4 years and 7 months old. He started at Primary school last Monday. His cousin is 4 years and 2 months old, and also started the same day. They had both been going to Kindergarten since they were 2.;

The normal uniform is a light purple shirt and dark blue short trousers. The new school is the same, but must have the school logo embroidered on the shirt. Yesterday, Thursday, he wore a neckerchief, woggle and scout cap. I saw an older girl, who goes to the same school, full 'brownie' uniform. No Thai costume is required YET. Today he had to wear a flowery blue shirt. I do not know the shoe regi,me, but he has black and white ones.

I never had to pay anything extra at baby school, just Bht 1000 twice a year, which included bus and meals, and Bht 450 insurance.

 

The Thai law passed about scouting uniforms is true as shown in the news. However, Each school director has his own decision to make regarding this. It is unfortunate they leave this choice with one person. But it is also like this for haircuts and styles as well. Apparently your school director has chosen to make his own rules. 

Also, the money you are supposed to get from the MOE. The school gets that money and has the option to keep it with a good excuse like using it to buy the students some supplies or uniforms. This is set in the parents meeting and agreed upon but ultimately it is also the directors decision. So the school can keep that money but you will get something for it like uniforms or supplies. So basically it is a scam for the school to keep the money by buying bulk at a cheaper price. IF you get the money back from the school then the school must give to you what the MOE has given them for your child. This goes for private and and government schools.

 

If you need accurate details with a specific question. I have someone inside the MOE that runs the office for paying out money to schools and parents. 

 

he MOE also gives the school money for lunches and milk per student. Which is why at the end of the year you get all those milk sent home with every student.

...and none of those to which you two are probably referring are official uniforms.

I am talking about the uni girls walking around Siam Square, and they certainly are the official uniforms. 

...heavily altered to make them look the way they do in Siam Sq.  Official university uniforms do not come from the suppliers the way they are worn, i.e. very tight white shirt and short, split black skirt.
