To understand and address the many challenges in providing a quality education for children of migrants from Myanmar (Burma) living in Thailand, World Education and Save the Children have carried out a comprehensive review of the sector.

Pathways to a Better Future: A Review of Education for Migrant Children in Thailand

Over the past decade, Thailand has received a large number of migrant workers from  its neighboring country, Myanmar (Burma), along with hundreds of thousands of their children. However, the provision of education to the children of migrant workers from Myanmar living in Thailand varies significantly across the country. This report assesses the current educational opportunities available to migrant children in Thailand in order to identify best practices, weaknesses, and challenges, and to understand the needs and vision of migrant communities. This will allow for evidence-based recommendations for the strengthening of education for migrant children in Thailand.
