and the current estimated a
total cost is about THB 11.36 billion.
In addition, 240 education institutions under other agencies outside of the MOE are also
affected at an estimated cost of THB 1.69 billion.
The cost of damage is calculated on the basis of pre-flood value of construction materials
for damaged parts of education institutes (buildings, roads, dikes, dormitories, stadiums,
etc.) and equipment and goods such as books, desks, benches, blackboards, windows,
doors, school compounds, computers, science lab equipment, office furniture, etc.
A total cost of damage to the education sector is estimated at THB 13.05 billion (USD
430.5 million).
Public Private Total
Most schools were operational at the time of writing, having done major clean up and
repair of water damage. However, for some higher-level educational institutions such as
Nakhon Sawan Agricultural College, Thammasat University (Rangsit), Kasetsart University
and a few others institutions in Ayuthaya and Bangkok, a substantial amount of clean up
and repairs will be required after the flood.

Shelter is critical in providing basic security and personal safety from elements and
resistance to diseases, as well as for sustaining the dignity and structure of families and
communities. Since major flooding came during the school holiday, an immediate priority
of the MOE – through its key commissions/offices – including: Basic Education Commission,
Vocational Education Commission, Higher Education Commission, Private Education

institution.
