Chandrakasem Rajabhat University
Chandrakasem Rajabhat University is a tertiary educational institution in Bangkok, Thailand that offers post-diploma certificate and degree level education from bachelor's degree to master's degree and even Ph.D levels.
Founded in 1940, Chandrakasem was Thailand's first training college for secondary school teachers. The Chandrakasem Teachers College was named an outstanding tertiary educational institute in 1991 by the Ministry of Education. The following year, His Majesty the King bestowed the name Chandrakasem Rajabhat Institute on the college.
On 14 June 2004, all Rajabhat institutes nationwide were graciously upgraded by His Majesty the King, who signed the Rajabhat University Act, B.E 2547 (2004), which was announced in the Royal Gazette for implementation starting from 15 June 2004. This promoted all Rajabhat institutes to become a Rajabhat University, a closely-knitted group of Thai universities dedicated to the preservation of Thai heritage and subject to the National Tertiary Education Commission of the Ministry of Education.
