"Keeping families together"
Our work
Education Support
Our Education Support work tackles barriers that stop children in Sangkhlaburi from attending school. We focus on:
-
Facilitating education enrolment
-
Minimising dropout
-
Widening access to education for children in remote areas
Facilitating education enrolment
Each year One Sky helps over 100 children from poor families enrol in school.
We facilitate enrolment by:
-
Raising awareness about children’s rights to education in Thailand (e.g. click here to see a recent informational poster)
-
Providing translation services and enrolment advice, to assist children through the enrolment process
-
Providing financial support to help children go to school.
Minimising dropout
We work to minimise dropout through:
-
Referrals from local schools, allowing us to return children at risk of dropout to education. In 2014 we received 65 such referrals, with 50 of these children returned to education.
-
Research into education dropout across all 14 primary schools in Nonglu, Sangkhlaburi, to be used as the basis for designing remedial programmes.
Widening rural education access
We provide a teacher three days per week for a small school on a remote Sangkhlaburi plantation. We are currently working with the village leader and local education authority to find a more permanent education solution for children living on this plantation.
