Thailand has been through a long journey to try to improve its education system. The first Thai language textbook, Chindamani, was published during the reign of King Narai the Great (1656 – 1688). As the printing press entered Thailand in the mid 1800’s, printed books were available in Thai language. Girls in Thailand were not admitted into the educational system until the end of 19th century. The first government school for girls was set up in 1901, and the first teacher training school for women was set up in 1913. The first university in Thailand, Chulalongkorn University, was established in 1917. Chulalongkorn University is named after King Chulalongkorn (Rama V, 1868 – 1910) and it is regarded as one of the best universities in East Asia (MOE, 1998).
