Equitable Education Fund, Thailand
The Equitable Education Fund (EEF), Thailand was established under the Equitable Education Act 2018. The objective of the Act is to provide financial support for children and youth who are in greatest need, reduce educational inequality by forming partnership with different groups and conducting systematic research to support and develop teachers’ effectiveness. EEF mission is to induce all sectors to propel and support the educational opportunities in order to reduce the inequality and improve teacher quality and vision that children, youths, and everyone who is underfinanced or disadvantaged can have access to quality education.
UNICEF’s work is underpinned by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world. Thailand adopted the Convention in 1992, committing to guaranteeing that children’s civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights are fulfilled. Our work also aligns with the national priorities set out in the 13th National Economic and Social Development Plan.
UNICEF works with all levels of the Government and partners, including NGOs, faith-based groups, private sector, the media, influencers, other UN agencies and children themselves – to advocate, leverage resources and convene partnerships for children. Non-political and impartial, we are never neutral when it comes to defending children’s rights and safeguarding their lives and futures.
And we never give up.
Few regions in the world are as diverse as East Asia and the Pacific. The region stretches from Mongolia in the north to Tonga in the south, and from Western China to the Cook Islands. The smallest country in East Asia and the Pacific, Niue, has 1,700 people while the largest, China, has 1.3 billion people.
This dynamic region also boasts significant diversity – in peoples, cultures, environments, economies, political systems and potential. It includes some of the fastest-growing economies in the world as well as ten of the least-developed countries – six in the Pacific and four in East Asia. The Pacific is a distinct subregion within the wider region, with its unique characteristics, dynamics and challenges.
There are around 30 million children born in the region every year and UNICEF works in every corner to ensure every child can enjoy a happy, healthy life.
Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. In Thailand and around the world, we do whatever it takes – every day and in times of crisis – to ensure the rights of every child to a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. Our experts go to the hardest-to-reach places where it’s toughest to be a child. We ensure children’s unique needs are met and their voices are heard. Together with children, families and communities, as well as supporters the world over, we achieve lasting results for millions of children.
With over 100 years of expertise and 25,000 dedicated staff across 122 countries, we are the world’s first and leading independent children’s organization. We respond to major emergencies, support children to move out of poverty, and ensure children's voices are heard through our campaigning to build a better future for and with children.
We believe every child deserves a future. We know you believe it, too.
