The Basic Education Core Curriculum is aimed at enchancing capacity of all learners, who constitute the major force of the country, so as to attain balanced development in all respects—physical strength, knowledge and morality. They will fully realise their commitment and responsibilities as Thai citizen as well as members of the world community. Adhering to a democratic form of government under constitutional monarchy, they will be endowed with basic knowledge and essential skills and favourable attitude towards further education, livelihood and lifelong learning. The learner-centred approach is therefore strongly advocated, based on the conviction that all are capable of learning and self-development to their highest potentiality.

Teaching Methods

The teachers in this school has various methods that they used when teaching. I have observed Ajarn Jinny (my mentor), Ajarn Som, Ajarn Samruan, Ajarn Bana that helped by the student teacher from Khon Kaen University named Team. I saw that all the teachers are close with the students, and the students are really respect to their teacher. The teachers are technology literate, they usually use the computer, iPad, projector as tool for teaching.

Teaching Materials and Innovation

The teachers uses textbook, worksheet, projector, powerpoint, and the other media for teaching in the class. My mentor said if i came in the previous semester, i can see a lot of mathematics activites. But, because i come before the examination, so the teachers and the students are busy to prepared the examination.
The teachers always make the class feel fun for the students, so they won't feel bored during the lessons. Sometimes they will learn in the math-lab and do some fun activities that related to the topics they have learned before.

Authentic Assessment

The learning assessment in this school are from the class examination, students' activities, students' homework, final examination and the national test.
