| Abstrakt: | The Sukavichinomics Curriculum Reform, introduced in 1995 by His Excellency Mr. Sukavich Rangsitpol, marked a transformative moment in Thai educational history. With a visionary agenda that emphasized learner-centered education, community participation, and lifelong learning, the reform laid the groundwork for a holistic, democratic, and locally grounded educational system. It focused on four strategic pillars: school reform, teacher reform, curriculum reform, and administrative reform--anchored in principles of happiness in learning, constructivist pedagogy, and moral development. Despite its groundbreaking innovations--such as the early introduction of English, portfolio-based assessments, and decentralized curriculum design--Sukavichinomics faced resistance from the educational establishment. Much of its vision was later adopted verbatim in the 1999 National Education Act without attribution, raising concerns about intellectual integrity and historical distortion. This article revisits the legacy of Sukavichinomics as a foundational blueprint for ethical, community-based, and sustainable education reform in Thailand and beyond. |
