SUMMARY:Creating Inclusive Education in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Today\, in Thailand\, there is an estimated 400\,000 migrant youth below the age of 16 years-old living in the country. Of those numbers\, approximately 150\,000 youth are in Thai public schools\, with an additional 30\,000 receiving education from Migrant Learning Centers. However\, this leaves over 200\,000 school-aged youth without access to education. \nFor the past decades\, tremendous efforts have been made to create both formal and informal learning opportunities for these youth. This year\, a culmination of grassroot efforts paid off with the establishment of a cross-border education working group consisting of members of the Ministries of Education from both Thailand and Myanmar. \nTogether with support from both governments\, community-based organizations and Migrant Learning Centers are continuing their journey to create inclusive education systems for migrant youth in Thailand. However\, there are many challenges that must be overcome before an effective system is in place – and many opportunities for groundbreaking-solutions! \nOrganized by students of the Master of Social Innovation and Sustainability of the School of Global Studies\, Thammasat University\, the event on 4 December at 6.00 PM at SEA Junction aims to explore the situation of education for migrant youth in Thailand and its importance through film\, group discussions and conversations with frontline leaders and with organizations supporting them. \nSpeakers’ Bios \nKyaw Kyaw Min Htut \nKyaw Kyaw Min Htut is a President and co-founder of the BEAM Education Foundation.
