Private schools in Thailand face a wave of closures this year, with up to 80 institutions expected to shut, reflecting mounting financial pressures across the sector.
Supaset Khanakul, president of the Association Board of Coordination and Promotion of Private Education (APPE), said closures have surged from an average of 30 to 50 schools annually to between 70 and 80 this year, with several in Bangkok already ending operations.
