“Building a society of mutual respect and shared learning”
The Faculty currently offers 1 undergraduate program and 3 graduate programs, as follows:
The Faculty of Learning Sciences and Education has 54 full-time staff in total: 28 faculty members (including 3 associate professors and 21 assistant professors), 1 specialist, and 25 academic support staff (including 4 at the professional level).
Thammasat Secondary School was established on June 22, 2015, under the supervision of the Faculty of Learning Sciences and Education. Its goal is to develop a learning ecosystem in line with the Faculty's vision and to create innovative approaches to secondary education, contributing to a more equitable, higher-quality society. The school currently offers instruction from Grade 7 through Grade 12 (Mathayom 1-6).
Thammasat Secondary School has 110 full-time staff in total: 17 faculty members (including 11 assistant professors), 52 process teachers (including 1 at the professional level), 7 foreign temporary staff, 1 mission-based employee, and 33 academic support staff.
Over the past 3 years, research and academic service projects generated total revenue of 112,524,260 THB, comprising 47,398,040 THB from research projects and 65,126,220 THB from academic service projects.
The Faculty has published 17 articles in international academic journals and 17 articles in domestic academic journals.
This vision and administrative direction is the result of comprehensive information gathering, particularly a community forum held on October 7, 2024, which gathered valuable input from faculty, staff, and students, together with a review of the Faculty's performance over the 10 years since its founding.
This process of listening and analysis revealed both past achievements and challenging opportunities for development, especially amid rapid social change in technology, education, and the increasingly diverse needs of learners. New challenges have also emerged in the education system, such as the use of artificial intelligence in teaching, learning for diverse groups of learners, and the demand for new skills in the labor market.
Recognizing the Faculty's important role in leading change in education and learning for society, the 2025-2027 vision and administrative direction focuses on building social wellbeing through education, research and academic work, and social service activities across various areas -- while preserving the Thammasat spirit of serving society and building justice, and adapting to keep pace with global change. The Faculty's direction and administrative approach were shaped through analysis, deliberation, and consultation with all stakeholders, to achieve sustainable development that genuinely responds to society's needs.
