It's great to hear that you like to learn more about our initiative to improve transparency in Phuket's educational market. Building a matching directory of licensed schools and nurseries is a commendable effort and will benefit the community significantly. Here’s a structured summary of the Phuket School project and the current situation:

Project Overview

• Objective: Create a comprehensive directory of licensed and unlicensed schools and nurseries in Phuket.
• Goal: Increase transparency in the educational sector, ensuring that all institutions operate with the correct licenses.
• Support: The initiative is backed by the governor, the Department of Business Development (DBD), and other government offices.

Current Efforts

1. Data Collection:
   • Gather information from licensed school and nursery owners.
   • Obtain lists from government offices that include all licensed educational institutions.
2. Verification Process:
   • Cross-reference data from schools with government records to verify licensing status.
   • Request licensing information directly from schools and nurseries.
3. Community Involvement:
   • Collaborate with a growing group of licensed school and nursery owners.
   • Encourage schools and government agencies to match their entries in the directory.

Challenges

• Unlicensed Schools: Many schools and nurseries operate without a license or with incorrect licenses.
• Incomplete Lists: Existing lists from government offices may not cover all educational institutions.

Next Steps

1. Continue Data Collection: Reach out to more schools and nurseries for their licensing information.
2. Enhance Verification: Work closely with government agencies to ensure the accuracy of the data.
3. Expand Collaboration: Involve more stakeholders from the educational sector and government offices to support the initiative.

Communication

• Transparency: Clarify the purpose of the data collection to the schools and nurseries, emphasizing the goal of ensuring correct licensing.
• Support: Highlight the support from government agencies and the governor to build trust and encourage cooperation.

Our initiative is a significant step towards improving the quality and credibility of education in Phuket. If there's anything specific you need assistance with, feel free to ask!
