Despite Thailand's popularity as a destination for migrant laborers from neighboring Southeast Asian countries, little research has been conducted on the education of migrant school-aged children in Thailand's public schools.

In-country migration is widespread in South Asia, and the region hosts the world's largest number of out-of-school children.
