ANALYSIS OF MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT (STUDY ON PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THAILAND)

General Background: The efficacy of management strategies in enhancing educational
outcomes has become increasingly critical, especially in the context of private schools.
Specific Background: In Thailand, private schools face unique challenges that
necessitate innovative approaches to curriculum development and educational quality.
Knowledge Gap: Existing literature reveals limited empirical studies on the impact of
curriculum innovation, technology integration, and business partnerships on private
school performance in Thailand. Aims: This research aims to evaluate management
strategies that improve performance in Thai private schools, with a specific focus on
curriculum development and its role in elevating educational standards. Results:
Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including literature reviews, case studies, and
cross-sectional primary data collected through observations and interviews with
schools in Southern Thailand, the study identifies that relevant, innovative, and
competency-based curricula are pivotal in enhancing educational quality. The
integration of technology and establishment of business partnerships are also critical in
preparing students for future challenges. Novelty: This study contributes to the existing
body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence on the effectiveness of these
strategies in the Thai private school sector and by evaluating their impact through direct
international community service initiatives. Implications: The findings suggest that
sustainable and responsive curriculum development is essential for improving the
competitiveness of private schools in Thailand, offering valuable insights for
educational policy-makers and school administrators aiming to foster long-term
educational improvements.
