Princess Chulabhorn Science High Schools of Thailand

Twelve Princess Chulabhorn Colleges were established in honor of Her Royal Highness
Princess Chulabhorn’s dedication in science and to commemorate her 36th birthday in 1993.
They are in 12 regions around the country.

Professor Dr. Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Mahidol is the youngest daughter
of their Majesties King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit of Thailand. She has been a
lecturer in Chemistry at Mahidol University since 1985. She is also a member of the President’s
Council of the University of Tokyo.

In 2010, all twelve Princess Chulabhorn Colleges were developed into science schools,
called “Princess Chulabhorn Science High Schools” with the help of Mahidol Wittayanusorn
School, the pioneer science school of Thailand.

The aim is to develop a special curriculum, innovative teaching and learning for nurturing
gifted students to be excellent in mathematics and science, and to be future scientific leaders
with critical and creative thinking, good ethics and being good members of the society with
global outlook for improving Thailand’s competitiveness in the 21st century.

The schools have both junior high school programs (Grade 7 to 9) and senior high school
programs (Grade 10 to 12). They are co-educational boarding schools. All students receive full
scholarships from the government.

Each school has a full capacity of 720 students with 24 students per class.

knowledge and experiences among
students, teachers, and executives in
gifted education in Science and
Technology to cultivate global outlook
for improving Thailand – Japan’s
sustainability and competitiveness
in the 21st century.

H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously presided over the opening ceremony.

Thailand – Japan Student ICT Fair (TJ - SIF)

TJ-SIF brings together hundred of high school students and teachers from Thailand and
Japan, who emphasize on information communication and technology (ICT). This event has the
operation with mentor university and is founded by the Basic Education Commission
(OBEC),and International Cooperation Agency (JICA)

The topics cover applications and software, robotics, and software and internet of things
(IoT).

Robotic workshop Thai and Japanese students presented their project.

Thailand - Japan Game Programing Hackathon

This Hackathon is a game - programming competition for Thai
and Japanese students. With this competition, the students will compete
and exchange through technology and become technical personnel who
will be active in the international stage in the future. We will hold the
contest 2 times: the first is the preliminary round and the second is the
final round in Japan.

The preliminary round will be held in each country and finally
the teams which achieve good result from each country will be able to
advance to the final round in Japan.

Japan - Asia Youth Exchange Program in Science

Purpose of the program is to promote science and technology which is a key engine
to materialize a bright future of Asia and it is vitally important to enhance the exchange
of youths in Asian countries and Japan who will play a crucial role in the field of science and
technology.

In addition, both programs, Sakura Exchange Program in Science and Japan-East Asia
Network of Exchange for Students and Youths (JENESYS) provide the opportunity
for students to visit numerous places where science and technology are involved in the
operations. As an illustration, students had a chance to suture artificial intestine using real
medical equipment at university. Moreover, students also visit companies experiencing science
and technology applied in the operations for business.

During 2013 to 2019, the number of teachers and students of Princess Chulabhorn
Science High Schools participating in the Sakura Exchange Program in Science and JENESYS
is as follows:

1. Sakura Exchange in Science Teachers Students

Academic Cooperation with organizations in New Zealand

Princess Chulabhorn Science High Schools have organized cooperative activities in
English teaching development for teachers, Usage of English development for principles and
teachers, and English skills development for higher study by University of Otago.

Furthermore, Princess Chulabhorn Science High Schools have academic cooperation
with other universities such as the University of Waikato, University of Canterbury, Massey
University of New Zealand, Victoria University of Wellington, Auckland University of
Technology and the University of Auckland. Princess Chulabhorn Science High Schools also
have student exchange program in high school level by The Dunedin Study.

Academic cooperation among colleges of National Institute of Technology
of Japan (KOSEN) and Princess Chulabhorn Science High Schools

KOSEN is a five-year engineering education system for 15-year-old students in response
to a strong demand from the industrial sector to foster engineers who sustained the high Japanese
economic growth at that time. A two-year advanced course system was introduced in 1991.
There are 55 national KOSEN throughout Japan. Approximately 300,000 students have
graduated so far, contributing actively not only in the industrial world but also in the academic
sector, as engineers, researchers, managers and so on.

KOSEN and Princess Chulabhorn Science High School will promote education and
research, to implement exchange and other activities in areas of education and research of mutual
interest through (1) exchange of students, (2) exchange of faculty and administrative staff and
researchers, (3) exchange of academic information and materials, (4) joint research and
symposium.

Princess Chulabhorn Science High School’s students participated in academic camp at Ibaraki KOSEN.

Activities in sports, physical exercises, community services and others are strongly promoted
for developing habits and characters as well as lifestyle necessary for the future leaders of
scientific community and industry.
