go back to Topic: [Illegal Schools](https://phuket.school/s/phuketschool/wiki/Illegal+Schools "Illegal Schools")  In Phuket, many new schools and educational institutions have opened up, and many of them haven't been licensed until now by a government authority in Thailand. To give parents a better overview of all already fully licensed schools, kindergartens, and institutions, we have opened up groups for each license type - or group of licenses. It is until now not easy for parents to figure out what institution is licensed and what is not at all licensed. Besides that, two different authorities issue licenses and that makes it even more complicated for parents and teachers who like to work in a licensed and not in an unlicensed school. Unfortunately, a centralized place where all educational institutions are listed according to their license type still doesn't exist in Phuket. We have groups for licensed institutions and all who send us their license will be allowed to post in those groups, and we will add them as moderators in that group AND in the group for unlicensed institutions. You will be able to post information about your institution but not about others and, of course, you can promote your school in those public groups. Parents and teachers interested might contact you via PM or website/phone etc.If you are still running your school without a license issued by a Thai educational authority (Primary Education Office/Provincial Hall Social Development Department), you are invited to post in the group where institutions with less than 6 students (no license needed) and those who haven't been approved until now can post and advertise their institution. ## The groups are: - **Toddler, Nursery, 0-6, Day Care and Elementary School in Phuket.** [https://www.facebook.com/groups/nolicense](https://www.facebook.com/groups/nolicense) We recommend all licensed schools NOT to post in that group, but you will be added as a moderator and can comment and moderate posts to help parents find the best institution for their children. - **Licensed Nurseries (Kindergarten) 0-6 in Phuket (Provincial Hall)** [https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensednurseryLicensed](https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensednurseryLicensed) - **Learning and Tutoring Centers in Phuket Primary Education Office** [https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensedcenter](https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensedcenter) - **Licensed International Kindergarten 3-6 in Phuket Primary Education Office.** [https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensedkindergarten/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensedkindergarten/) - **Licensed International Elementary Schools 6-12 in Phuket Primary Education.** [https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensedelementary](https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensedelementary) - **Licensed International Secondary School 12-18 in Phuket.** [https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensedsecondary](https://www.facebook.com/groups/licensedsecondary) - **Phuket Homeschool (Thai, Mixed, and International Homeschool Community)** [https://www.facebook.com/groups/phukethomeschool](https://www.facebook.com/groups/phukethomeschool) For all "Licensed" groups, we allow only verified schools that send us a link to their license on their school page or a copy of the license itself. We recommend introducing yourself by posting the link to your license(s) too after you have been accepted into the group. Enjoy this Post?
