Popis: This research aims to organize the development of higher education and its policies in Thailand. The history of higher education in Thailand began in the twenty century and started with the establishment of Chulalongkorn University in 1917. Since 1991, more than 80% of high school graduates have enrolled in higher education. Higher education in Thailand has entered a phase of universal access, wherein the higher education net enrollment rate has exceeded 50% since 2004. There has been a rapid increase in the number of faculties, departments, and programs in computer and environmental fields. As a result, Thailand's government has achieved the quantitative expansion of higher education. However, It is necessary to examine whether the quality of education has been improved.
