Authorities have raided an unlicensed international school in Prawet district of Bangkok, arresting 10 foreign teachers and staff found working without permits.

Officials found the school had been operating without a legally required licence for more than a year, offering kindergarten and primary-level classes to over 100 students.

Investigators following a tip-off said they found 10 foreign nationals from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nigeria who were working as teachers and staff without work permits.

All 10 were arrested.

Police said the case should serve as a warning to parents when selecting schools for their children. Institutions operating without licences risk sudden closure.

Parents can verify a school’s registration with the Ministry of Education before enrolment.
