Early Year Education
Over 74% of children, aged 3 to 5 receive early childhood
education. While the majority of Early Year Education is
provided by government primary schools, the Ministry of
Education has actively encouraged private schools and
local government to take a more significant role at this
level. As a result, there has been a marked expansion
in the provision of Early Year Education by the private
sector. This is particularly evident in Bangkok Metropolitan
where the private sector provides 59% of total Early Year
Education, compared with the national average of 28%.
