About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Thungprue Pittayakom School, located in Songkhla Province, was established in 1957. The school campus comprises five main buildings, two residential buildings for teachers, a multipurpose facility, and a cafeteria. Additionally, the school has been provided with four temporary structures by the public, along with three restroom facilities. Each school building is equipped with two bathrooms. Currently, the school accommodates 224 students ranging from kindergarten to lower secondary levels (ages 6-15), overseen by a total of 16 teachers and one janitor. Due to limited exposure to foreigners, there are minimal opportunities for students to interact in English, a skill increasingly vital for their future prospects.
