Synthesis of Self-Assessment Reports (SAR) for the Academic Year 2024, Nakhon Ratchasima Primary Educational Service Area Office 5

Abstract

This research aimed to synthesize the Self-Assessment Reports (SAR) for the 2024 Academic Year from 209 schools under the Nakhon Ratchasima Primary Education Service Area 5 (NRSA 5). Employing documentary research and mixed analysis, the study analyzed school quality based on educational standards for early childhood and basic education.The findings indicated that the majority of schools achieved Excellent to Supreme quality levels, with 97.10% of early childhood education schools and 98.56% of basic education schools reaching Excellent or higher. Key strengths included the utilization of the SUPER 5Q management model and the 6 Quality Assurance Processes, ensuring curriculum alignment with local contexts, and positive classroom management.Conversely, the main areas for improvement were student quality, specifically cognitive development in early childhood (low point at 68.20%) and academic achievement/critical thinking skills in basic education (30.77% and 29.91% needing improvement, respectively). This highlights the need to enhance higher-order thinking skills and integrate technology effectively to support learning.
