The Thai government and Thai public have acknowledged the importance of Thai students’ study of English in primary and secondary schools. However, there is a significant and broad discrepancy in the quality of language education among Thai schools. Schools in rural areas often lack the resources and skilled teachers to provide effective English training. Such is the shortage of qualified native English-speaking teachers that in the province of Lampang, for example, among the 40 high schools and their 40,000 students, there are fewer than 20 native English-speaking teachers. This situation is also true of other provinces and is the critical gap that Teach Thailand Corps wishes to fill.
