history

Field Marshal Phibunsongkhram (1897–1964), who gave the university its name

The Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University was founded in 1926 as a teacher training institute under the Royal Thai Elementary School Act of 1921. On January 7, 1926, King Rama VII attended the opening ceremony together with Queen Ramphaiphanni and gave the institute the name Phitsanuwittayayon . The training for teachers in public schools lasted two years. In 1933 a separate institution for female teachers was opened, which in 1956 was merged with that of the male teachers to form the Pibulsongkram teachers' college , the name of which reminds of the former Prime Minister Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram .

The institution has offered a bachelor's degree in education since 1976 . In 1981 the college moved to the Thung Thaleekaeo campus. The Education Act of 1984 allowed the teaching staff to offer subjects other than pedagogy. On February 14, 1992, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) renamed the college the Rajabhat Institute Pibulsongkram . Under the Rajabhat University Act, which the King enacted on June 14, 2004, all Rajabhat institutes were upgraded to universities, including the Rajabhat Pibulsongkram Institute.
