Educational Professional Control: The Analysis of Administrative Power and Operations of the Professional Council

Abstract

This academic article analyzes the administrative power and operations for promoting the efficiency of educational professional control of the professional council under the Teachers' Council and Educational Personnel Act B.E. 2546. The analysis revealed that administrative power for professional control is exercised through two primary mechanisms: the issuance and renewal of professional licenses and the enforcement of the code of professional ethics, adhering to the rule of law and transparency. The operations for promoting efficiency enhancements include: (1) for licensing and renewal, strictly applying the principle of equality in screening and linking self-development activities to actual practice; and (1) for ethical control, accelerating the process for serious misconduct and standardizing penalties based on proportionality and equality. These findings expand the perspective on professional control through the lens of administrative law and serve as a guideline for the legitimate exercise of state power to elevate teacher quality and public confidence in the profession.
