REACT Temporary Project Assistant (Mae Sot)

Background

Save the Children has been supporting education for migrant children in Thailand since 2014 and is positioned as the lead agency promoting migrant children’s right to education in Thailand. The goal of the REACHING EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN IN THAILAND (REACT) Project is to ensure that migrant children in Thailand have access to quality education and communities support children’s learning. The REACT project will take a holistic approach to supporting migrant children’s development. Save the Children will work more strategically with Thai government systems to ensure that the education system is more inclusive of migrant children at local and national levels. To this end, we are currently undertaking consultations in three provinces (Ranong, Bangkok and Tak) with Education Service Areas Offices (ESAOs), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) working within education and migrant communities, and children to gather feedback and further refine the project’s design.

The REACT phase II starts from 1st February 2020, and staff recruitment is on processing. The Temporary Project Assistant will support Project Coordinator to implement the activities in Tak, Bangkok and Ranong provinces.
