Previously, education in Thailand was provided by Buddhist monks and was only available to boys. Nowadays however, the Thai government provides education in Thailand.
There are two types of education in Thailand – formal and informal education. Formal education is the education that children receive in a classroom. Informal education however, is provided outside the classroom (in libraries, museums, through educational TV programmes and special radio programs etc.). However in Thailand today, most students have access to a formal education system.The Ministry of Education
have been geared towards one direction, which is to provide educational
services as a means for a better quality of life and society.
