Schools in Thailand provide basic education, which covers pre-primary, primary and secondary education. Though most schools provide formal education following the National Curriculum, certain specialised schools may provide non-formal education. Most state schools operate under the auspices of the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC), local governments, or universities, while private schools operate under the oversight of the Office of the Private Education Commission.
There are 37,175 schools in Thailand providing general education as of the 2011 academic year. These include 31,286 schools under the OBEC, 1,726 operated by local governments, 57 university demonstration schools, 414 Phrapariyatidhamma (Buddhist) schools and 3,679 private schools.[a][1] This list covers notable schools providing general education in the K1-K3 (Anuban), primary P1-P6 (Pratom) and secondary M1-M6 (Mathayom) levels, listed by province.
