Educational Development in Thailand (1974-1976).
Ministry of Education, Bangkok (Thailand).
This report describes Thailand's National Education Scheme which was designed to stabilize conditions resulting from frequent changes in the government during the years 1974-76. The general objectives of the scheme are: (1) to promote the appreciation of a constitutional democracy using the nation; (2) to enhance an awareness of being Thai through establishing pride in the Thai culture; and (3) to encourage the exercise of rights and freedom within legal limits. Functions of educational administration at the national, provincial, and municipal levels are described. The structure, organization, and curricula of the present 6-3-3 system are outlined. New policies include seven years' compulsory education, aid to needy students, expansion of school facilities, vocational and agricultural training, out-of-school training, and improved teacher training. Descriptions of new legislation and financial procedures are included. (KC)
