In addition, gender difference does not represent a major factor in overall education inequality. Equal educational opportunities for females were widely available so that each female student could get a basic education.

The contributors to this important study—Thai scholars, reformers and civil servants—shed light on the many dimensions of inequality in Thailand, looking beyond simple income measures to consider land ownership, education, finance, business structures and politics.
