Schools & universities in Roi Et.

This is the fact that separates Roi Et from every province around it. Silver Fern International School is an authorised IB World School running the Primary Years Programme, and a candidate school for the Middle Years Programme, on Airport Road inside the provincial town. It teaches in English with Thai and Chinese as additional languages, and draws on Cambridge IGCSE frameworks and the Thai Ministry curriculum alongside the IB. It is co-educational, takes children from early years, and offers day and boarding places — boarding from PYP 4 onward, in small family-style houses close to the school. It also publishes its fees, which is more than many schools of this type do: for 2025/26, annual tuition ran from about 267,000 baht in the earliest years to about 271,000 in the second early-years band, about 378,500 to 379,500 across the primary years, about 432,000 at the PYP 5 to MYP 1 band and about 506,000 at MYP 2. On top of that sit a non-refundable application fee of 10,000 baht, a registration fee of 50,000 baht for a full year or 30,000 for a single term, and a refundable deposit of 40,000 baht, with a 10 per cent tuition discount on second and third children. Boarding fees are quoted on enquiry. Confirm all of it directly with the school before budgeting — published fee schedules move.

Roi Et Rajabhat University is the province's main public higher-education institution, established in 2001 and recognised by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. It sits out at Ko Kaeo in Selaphum district rather than in the provincial town, which matters practically: the student rental market around the campus is a distinct cluster from the one in Mueang Roi Et, and it is the cheapest formal housing in the province, with blocks quoting from around 1,500 baht a month in our August 2026 portal check. It is a coeducational institution offering undergraduate and graduate programmes with the usual Rajabhat spread across education, sciences, humanities and management.

Mahamakut Buddhist University, one of Thailand's two national Buddhist universities, maintains a campus in Roi Et. It is a visible enough presence in the local rental market to register on the portals as a demand anchor in its own right — the second-largest of the three education anchors we could identify around Mueang Roi Et, after the industrial and community education college. For most relocating families it is not a schooling option, but it is part of why the town has a student population and the apartment stock that goes with one.

Rajamangala University of Technology Isan operates a Roi Et campus project at Thung Kula Ronghai, on the southern rice plain — a separate institution from the Rajabhat, and one worth distinguishing because the two are routinely confused. Alongside it, Roi Et Industrial and Community Education College covers the vocational track in the provincial town and is the single largest driver of student rental demand in Mueang Roi Et on the portal data. Together these give the province a technical and applied layer that does not depend on the Rajabhat.

Below the tertiary and international tier, Roi Et runs the standard Thai government school system across twenty districts, 193 subdistricts and 2,311 villages, under the Office of the Basic Education Commission. BAANLYY did not verify individual primary or secondary schools in this province, and rather than publish a plausible-looking list we are stating that as a coverage gap in our own data — not a claim about the province. English Programme provision exists in Thai schools in many provinces of this size and may well exist here, but we could not confirm a specific programme, so we do not assert one. Ask the provincial education office and visit in person; for a family who wants an international curriculum, the answer in Roi Et is Silver Fern and it is inside the municipality.
