Abstract

          This research aimed to study the needs for administrative development in honest schools under the jurisdiction of the Secondary Educational Service Area Office in Nong Khai. The study employed a descriptive research methodology. The sample consisted of 162 teachers selected through stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire assessing the current and desired states of administration according to the standards of honest schools, with an overall reliability coefficient of 0.95. Data analysis employed statistical measures including percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the needs assessment index (PNI modified).

          The findings revealed that the current state of administration across four standards in honest schools in Nong Khai was rated at a high level overall (mean = 3.69). The general administration standard had the highest mean score (3.72), reflecting readiness and effective management, while budget administration had the lowest mean score (3.66), indicating a need for improvement. The desired state of administration was rated at the highest level overall (mean = 4.70). The personnel administration standard had the highest mean score (4.70), highlighting expectations for high-quality personnel and effective human resource management, while academic administration had the lowest mean score (4.59). The needs assessment index emphasized that priority should be given to the development of budget administration (PNI = 0.28), followed by personnel administration (PNI = 0.25), academic administration (PNI = 0.24), and general administration (PNI = 0.23). These findings underscore the necessity for resource allocation and targeted improvements in each area to enhance the standards of honest schools in alignment with established goals.
