Résumé
The development of modern education in Thailand aimed primarily at backing up the foundation of the nation-state in a spirit of Thai-ness and modernity. In that respect, local cultures and identities were cast aside by the government. However, with the rise of communism in the region after 1949 and the support of Communism in border areas, the Thai government found it necessary to re-conquer these regions, and proceeded to do so via public education, among other solutions. The curriculum taught in schools did not take into account the specificities of the children who were taught the same subject and in the same language (Central Thai) as their lowland counterparts. Attempts have been made to improve education and safeguard local indigenous culture, showing the importance of keeping the opportunity for people to find alternative ways of development in an ever more complex world.
