Classed as a developing country, Thailand has implemented wide-reaching legislative and regulatory responses relating to the purpose, character of and access to higher education. The authors investigate these changes by interrogating the mechanisms and reciprocities that have operated at the international level to trigger this decision making, and acknowledge that these changes have often run up against long-standing cultural norms and ideologies. Thailand has a highly stratified society, and maintains a strong commitment to the preservation of Thai identity and traditional values: tensions and pressures are likely to arise when history, culture and ideology are not aligned with political decree. Importantly, the push and pull between equity and excellence within the education system are likely to lie at the heart of those tensions. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Excellence and Equity in Global Education,$x2947-5953 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aEducation$xHistory 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aHistory of Education 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 14$aHigher Education. 615 24$aHistory of Education. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 676 $a378.593 676 $a378.59309 700 $aMaitrarat$b Penpisoot Kwan$0908758 702 $aOpenshaw$b Roger 702 $aWalshaw$b Margaret 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910506404103321 996 $aThe history of higher education in Thailand$92900357 997 $aUNINA
