Statement of Purpose
(First 2 Pages)
It is very important that one should make
goals in order to achieve them. Without proper focus, one can easily fall
off the track and become loser. I believe new technology skills, advanced
studies and critical thinking are very important for advancement and success
in today's rapidly growing workforce.

I am inherently committed to education, as my father Dr. Narong
Mongkhonvanit, was an educationalist. In 1963 my father established the
first private vocational and engineering school in Thailand, named "Charng
Kon Siam," (Siam Engineering School). He was one of the first educators in
Thailand to emphasize the importance of the private sector in education. In
1970, he established another institution, namely “Siam College”. It is the
third oldest private institute for higher education in Thailand.
Siam Engineering School has now converted into the Siam Institute of
Technology. More than 10,000 students are enrolled in this institute. Siam
College is now called the Siam University. It is one of the Thailand’s
largest private universities with more than 18,000 enrolled students.
To support research activities for both institutes, the Siam Research
Institute was established in 1997. By utilizing modern technology and
keeping in view the globalization my family’s plans are to establish a new
campus in 2005 focusing on distant learning, executive education and
international programs. I want to ensure the highest level of development
and educational quality for students at both national and international
level, supported by the comprehensive national reform that was launched by
the government of Thailand. In this context, my aim is to participate in the
national reform by focusing on the fields of human development and
education.
Through the years, as I have gained good experienced as an institutional
administrator and a lecturer in Thailand, I have also achieved a great
degree of understanding of educational management and problems within the
decision-making framework of an institution under government supervision. I
have also served as an Executive Assistant to the President in International
Affairs and Development at Siam University. I was responsible for various
tasks related to international programs within the university, international
relation with foreign universities and international organizations and
developmental issues. I initiated a relationship between Siam University and
other foreign universities for exchange programs and academic cooperation
regarding international relation.
Siam University now has bilateral partnership with thirteen highly
recognized institutes all over the world. I also assisted an international
program to recruit overseas students and provide financial support to
foreign students. Through enormous efforts, the International Program at
Siam University prepares all students to be effective in their future. At
present, Siam University hosts around 300 foreign students from twenty-two
different countries. In order to support all students in the right manner,
university needs to facilitate and support them on individual and cultural
basis. As for student development program, my foreign educational experience
has helped me a lot to successfully implement new ideas.
