Rationale and Purpose
The National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) has a mission to promote the application of knowledge in various ways, including teaching and learning, research, and academic services, to social development. In applying knowledge to such a goal, the Institute also aspires to develop its academic excellence, especially by combining knowledge and virtue to create intellectual capability, a sense of purpose, as well as social responsibility. In addition, in view of the need for continual development and readiness to accommodate today’s rapid changes, the Institute is intent upon promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4, i.e., ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all, as well as strengthening Thailand’s educational system. The Institute has created cooperation networks with educational institutions and agencies in Thailand and abroad, for the purpose of achieving an international recognition.
The Graduate Law School of the National Institute of Development Administration has maintained a strong aspiration to pursue the Institute’s mission to achieve academic excellence in law for just and sustainable social development.
