The Rajabhat Universities (, ) mean normal universities in Thailand. They were formerly called ''Rajabhat Institutes'' and originally formed the teachers college system.

Many provinces have one—there are 38 total—and they are generally easier to gain admission to than the public universities (formerly the government universities).

Educational Institutions Established In 1921
Education is a purposeful activity directed at achieving certain aims, such as transmitting knowledge or fostering skills and character traits. These aims may include the development of understanding, rationality, kindness, and honesty. Various researchers emphasize the role of critical thinking in order to distinguish education from indoctrination. Some theorists require that education results in an improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term. In a slightly different sense, education may also refer, not to the process, but to the product of this process: the mental states and dispositions possessed by educated people. Education originated as the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to the next. Today, educational goals increasingly encompass new ideas such as the liberation of learners, skills needed for modern society, empathy, and complex vocational skills. Types of education are commonly divided into formal, ...
