EIS was specifically designed to help less-privileged children learn English with minimal expense. While bilingual academies offer a good learning environment to many students, the schools tend to demand a large amount of money for the students’ tuition fees, putting them out of reach of most Thai families. More than two- thirds(2/3)of Thais come from low-income households and cannot afford to send their children to bilingual schools in order for them to learn the second language. EIS therefore provides bilingual educational opportunities to students who otherwise could never afford it.
