In contrast, in Southeast Asian countries, it is common for students to be proficient in multiple languages within the same school due to the different languages spoken in neighboring countries. In the case of Wat Chana Songkhram School, many students did not speak Thai as they were native to Vietnam, Cambodia, among others. For this reason, the school made efforts to provide the necessary support and adjustments to teach the language and enable equal learning opportunities.

On the other hand, I identified a similarity between education in Thailand and countries like Colombia, which is the high degree of religious influence in education. In Bangkok, approximately 87% of the population is Buddhist, which means that children participate in religious activities from an early age. Additionally, in some cases, schools are located within Buddhist temples. During my visit, while conversing with the school administrators, they informed me that temples frequently donated money to cover the additional expenses of students since the state only provided basic school supplies.
