Project Details	Thailand, which is facing the challenges of an aging population, has seen a major increase in workers arriving from neighboring countries. Although the Thai government has laws on providing education for children who do not have proof of civil registration or Thai nationality, these children continue to face many difficulties regarding education. This project will support the establishment of a volunteer system to promote school attendance, revision and implementation of Thai language programs, teacher training, and implementation of non-formal education for overage children in the pilot areas of Prawet District, Bang Khun Thian District and Bangborn District, Bangkok Metropolitan and Tapma Municipality, Rayong Province. This four-year project will draw on the work of similar multi-cultural education support programs in Japan to develop a model for the region, with the goal of encouraging social integration of the children of migrant workers not only in Thailand but across ASEAN.
