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.
