Abstract
This paper aims to study factors that determine access to education among migrant children aged 0-14 years old in families of migrant workers. This quantitative research is based on a structured survey data collected from 402 migrant families with a total of 803 children aged 0-14 years old. This paper is a part of a research project titled “Migrant Children Population: Contexts of Parenting, Access to Health Services and Education in Special Economic Zones (SEZ) Mae Sot, Tak Province”. Studying the access to education among migrant children shows key factors which have positive impact include being registered at birth, families planning to allow the children to live in Mae Sot District or Thailand after they turn 15 years old, awareness among the main caretakers regarding rights to education and the purchase of migrant children health insurance cards, and the main caretakers’Thai language proficiency.
