Full text: Under this National Scheme of Education, education is
  conceived as a continuing life-long process which promotes the
  quality of life of the citizen, enabling him to live a useful life
  in society. The emphasis is thus laid upon education primarily as a
  means to survival, security and happiness for all in the Thai
  society. The objectives of education are as follows : 1. To promote
  a sense of respect for one's own and others' rights and duties; to
  foster self-discipline; to inculcate a law-abiding habit and
  adherence to religious and ethical principles.

  2. To promote an understanding of the role of a citizen in a
  democratic government with the King as Head of state.

  3. To inculcate a sense of responsibility towards the nation, the
  community, the family and oneself.

  4. To promote consciousness of belonging to the Thai nation, as
  well as to the human race as a whole, to have national pride,
  concern for national security and an active interest in national
  defence.
