Assoc. Prof. Dr. Methi Pilanthanannond, Dean of the Graduate School has been busy with preparations to launch the above doctoral program since the latter part of 2003 and it has now become possible to admit students from the new academic year starting in June 2004. The target groups are those school administrators and teachers who seek paradigms in the spheres of administration or curriculum & instruction and it is expected that their response and enrollment will be enthusiastic and brisk.

The Dean took a recruitment trip to Australia in February 2003 which was considered very successful. He met with several professors at the University of Wollongong and the Australian Catholic University and many expressed their interest in teaching the courses here in Bangkok.

Currently the Ph.D. Curriculum Development and Academic Standard Committee comprising the following officials is working hard to finalize all the details.
