The University

The city of Khon Kaen lies in the middle of the Khorat Plateau, on the 'Freedom Highway' which runs from Bangkok to the Laotian border at Nong Khai

The University is a vast campus on the edge of town: it has approximately 14,000 students and is like a small self contained town. It has an on-site teaching hospital and school(s), and most of the professional and support staff live on site in small villages: students are housed in accommodation blocks not unlike UK halls of residence.

The above mentioned schools are what they refer to as 'demonstration schools' They have kindergarten, primary and secondary departments, and it is here where student teachers from the Faculty of Education do their teaching practice. The schools are extremely well equipped by UK standards, in order to give the student teachers an ideal to aim for.
The children are mainly those of staff living on-site.

More information about the University can be seen on the University web site www.KKU.ac.th
 
The Undergraduate Support Scheme
 
The Anglo Thai Foundation currently supports five undergraduate students in the Faculty of Education. Two more students have recently graduated, whose ATF grants have paid no small part in their successful university education.
