There is a long history of Chinese immigration to Thailand, especially from the Chaozhou area. It can be sait that Chaozhou people are living examples of the saying “Where there is sea there are Chinese immigrants”. There was a continuing influx of the Chaozhou people, moving from China’s Fujian province to Thailand. This situation was particularly evident during the 17th to 20th centuries. After the revolution of 1911, Chinese intellectuals and businessmen in Thailand, aware of the “fundamentality of education” began to build schools in order to teach Chinese children living in Thailand the Chinese language. However these schools faced many difficulties. This paper will examine the school advertisements, educational reviews and articles published in the Shinbao and Thai-Chinese newspapers during the 1920’s to 1930’s. The purpose is to reveal the conditions of Chinese education during this period.東アジアの歴史と動
