On 3 December 2025 at 9:45 a.m., Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously visited to follow up on the implementation of royal initiative projects at Pracharath Bamrung 1 Border Patrol Police School, Aranyaprathet District, Sa Kaeo Province. This marked her sixth visit to the school and her 1,135th visit to Border Patrol Police schools nationwide.
The school provides education from kindergarten through Grade 6. It currently has seven Border Patrol Police teachers and a total of 13 educational personnel, serving 104 students. The school is under the responsibility of Border Patrol Police Subdivision 12.
On this occasion, Her Royal Highness followed up on the progress of the Royal Initiative Project for the Development of Children and Youth in Remote Areas. In terms of nutrition, most students were found to have nutritional status within standard criteria and good physical fitness. Regarding educational quality enhancement, the school currently has 11 students under royal patronage and 28 graduates. All students who completed Grade 6 were able to continue their education.
In vocational skills training, students were taught bicycle repair and haircutting skills, which they can apply in daily life and further develop into future occupations.
Her Royal Highness observed activities at the school infirmary, library, and reading promotion programs, as well as student cooperative activities. Students from Grades 3 to 6 actively participated in hands-on training through operating the school shop and savings programs.
For the School Lunch Agriculture Project, students engaged in practical agricultural activities such as growing vegetables, cultivating mushrooms, planting fruit trees and dried legumes, and raising animals including chickens, ducks, fish, and frogs. The produce was sufficient for preparing school lunches. Students were also taught food processing skills, including transforming bananas into products such as banana flour, cookies, and dried bananas.
The project has been extended to the community by distributing vegetable and fruit seeds to parents for household consumption, helping to reduce expenses and generate supplementary income. In addition, knowledge on health care, environmental sanitation, and household accounting was promoted among community members.
On this occasion, Her Royal Highness graciously bestowed survival bags to the Aranyaprathet Task Force. She then graciously met with local people and visited the Royal Medical and Dental Units, jointly provided by Sa Kaeo Crown Prince Hospital, Aranyaprathet Hospital, and the Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, which offered medical and dental services to students and members of the public.
