Highlights

The Survey on Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Support Needed in Schools was undertaken to assess how schools across Thailand are affected by climate change and extreme weather, the support they have received, their readiness and capacity, and the assistance they still require.

The survey applied a quantitative methodology, with data collected through questionnaires sent by email and through field interviews with teachers in schools affected by climate change and extreme weather. Data collection took place in July–August 2025. A total of 329 schools were surveyed, comprising 315 public schools and 14 schools for disabilities group under the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC). The survey covered schools in 14 provinces across four regions of Thailand, most of which had been among the provinces most affected by extreme weather events in the past three years:

  • Northern region: Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son, Tak, Lampang
  • Northeastern region: Kalasin, Nakhon Ratchasima, Uttaradit
  • Southern region: Phatthalung, Yala, Chumphon, Songkhla, Narathiwat
  • Central/Eastern region: Prachuap Khiri Khan
