Strategies Acquire Educational Resources for Reduce Educational Inequality of Kamphaeng Phet Province

Abstract

 

This study aimed to develop strategies for acquiring educational resources to reduce educational inequality in Kamphaeng Phet Province. The research was conducted in four stages: (1) analysis of current conditions and problems through a survey of 1,475 participants,
(2) identification of best practices from five educational institutions, (3) development of strategies through three steps—focus group discussions with 12 informants, a workshop with 15 experts, and validation by 15 connoisseurs, and (4) implementation and evaluation of strategies using five educational institutions, with feedback obtained from 40 stakeholders in a public hearing. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage.

The results revealed four strategic directions for acquiring educational resources:
(1) developing an efficient system for managing administrative resources, including digital resource management, mobilization for family career development, and participatory management to strengthen family culture; (2) promoting the acquisition of resources to improve modern and effective teaching and learning processes, particularly through digital technology; (3) mobilizing comprehensive educational support resources that are effective and socially responsible; and
(4) encouraging multi-sectoral participation to achieve sustainable educational equity. These strategies provide a framework for reducing spatial, socio-economic, and cultural disparities in education within the province.
