From the national picture down to our neighbourhoods
Bars are drawn to true proportion, showing how our area sits within the national picture.
Four sub-districts, two different problems
The same headline number hides two distinct causes — and they need different responses.
| Sub-district | Children | Screening breakdown | Refused | Not located | Aged 13–18 | Thai nationals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rahaeng | 114 | 114 |
114 | 0 | 23 | 13 |
| Mai Ngam | 62 | 62 |
0 | 62 | 36 | 34 |
| Nong Luang | 42 | 29 |
29 | 10 | 12 | 11 |
| Chiang Ngoen | 21 | 15 |

| Total | 239 | 148 | 87 | 80 | 62 |
Screening outcome by sub-districtchildren
Rahaeng — a question of trust
All 114 children in the central sub-district declined to share information, and only 13 hold Thai nationality. The barrier is approach, language and fear about legal status — not distance.
Mai Ngam — a question of records
All 62 children could not be found at the recorded address. Locating them requires records the municipality holds but the ministry does not: household registration, water accounts, community rosters and village health volunteer data.
Why help has not yet reached them
These are the national system’s own stages. A child must pass every one of them before individual support can begin.
Responsibility divided clearly by age
Our school teaches lower and upper secondary (Grades 7–12), so we can admit 13–18 year-olds directly. Younger children are referred to the municipality’s other schools and early childhood centres.
Age distributionchildren
Our school can serve them directly — through the three forms of education
Referred to municipal schools 2–4 and early childhood centres — with our school acting as the municipality’s data and coordination hub
Undocumented children are the main case, not the exception
177 of 239 children are non-Thai or hold no civil registration status. In Rahaeng sub-district the figure reaches 101 of 114.
The legal position is settled
The 2025 Ministry of Education Announcement on the admission of students without civil registration or Thai nationality confirms that every child residing in Thailand may enrol at any level, using a G-code learner identifier where legal status cannot yet be determined, with the standard per-head subsidy applying.
What Tessaban 1 Kittikhajorn School has done so far
These figures come directly from the school’s own case management system and update whenever staff record their work.

How to read these numbers correctly
Definitions used
“Children” refers to those aged 3–18 recorded in the national database as not found in the education system. “Survey recorded” means a field visit was logged — it does not always mean the child was physically located. “Consented” refers to those agreeing to a full interview, which is the only basis for data on causes and needs. “Municipality” here means the sum of the four sub-districts the municipal boundary covers.
Limitations we state openly
1) The municipal boundary covers all of Rahaeng but only parts of the other three sub-districts, so 239 is an upper bound; the true figure lies between 114 and 239 and will be fixed once the list is overlaid on the municipality’s community map.
2) The source system records “located” and “screening outcome” as separate fields without enforced consistency, so we report primarily by screening outcome.
3) The age bands sum to 247 against a total of 239 — a discrepancy in the source data, not in this page’s calculations.
4) Situation data is a snapshot of the FY2025 survey round; the school’s own progress figures are live.
How we protect children’s personal data
This page publishes aggregate statistics only — no names, identification numbers, addresses or photographs. Cross-tabulations that could identify an individual suppress counts below five. Individual records are held in a closed, role-restricted system in which every access is logged: who opened which case, and when.
