His royal teachings, given long before the economic crisis, and reiterated during and after the crisis, emphasized resilience, moderation, and sustainable self-reliance amid social and economic changes. The article presents three key aspects 1) Guidelines for implementing educational management based on the Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy, 2) Indicators of successful school administration in accordance with this philosophy, and 3)Factors associated with the success of basic educational administration under the Sufficiency Economy approach.The Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy serves as essential knowledge for educational administrators, enabling them to manage education in line with Thailand’s fundamental educational philosophy. It provides a practical framework for all Thai people to live with moderation and self-reliance, to have sufficient access to the four necessities of life, and to maintain a happy and sustainable way of living appropriate to their circumstances.
