Chandrakasem Rajabhat University

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chandrakasem Rajabhat University is a tertiary educational institution offering post-diploma certificate and degree education starting from bachelor's degree to master's degree and Ph.D levels. Founded in 1940, the Chandrakasem Rajabhat was Thailand's first training school of secondary teachers. The university was awarded an outstanding tertiary educational institute in 1991 from the Ministry of Education. In 1992, His Majesty the King renamed the institute the Chandrakasem Rajabhat Institute.

On 14 June 2004, all Rajabhat institutes nationwide were graciously upgraded by His Majesty the King who signed the Rajabhat University Act, B.E 2547 (2004), which was later announced in the Royal Gazette for implementation starting from 15 June 2004. This prompted all Rajabhat institutes to become the Rajabhat University, a closely-knitted group of Thai university dedicated for the promotion of Thai heritage, subject to the National Tertiary Education Commission under the Ministry of Education.
