Does a thai government teacher have the right to be able to teach in a school near their home.
As a government official, the teacher generally has to ask the government for a transfer and then wait for a decision. It seems the decision can take some time (this is Thailand after all) but if the teacher has connections or knows a teacher willing to swap schools, then the transfer can go through quicker. It’s possible that the teacher would also need permission to transfer from the actual school director. This can also slow things down if the director doesn’t want the teacher to leave. All the latest information on transferring schools is available from the Ministry of Education. That’s really who a government teacher should be asking.
