developed manpower in semi skilled, skilled
and technical level. If the vocational graduates
do not head for the labor market, they make
the further education in academic degree. It
causes the missing technology graduates with
quality in the country. The loss of the
education investment has been occurred.
Background of the Study
• The private vocational educations have reached
the determined goal effectively and efficiently.
The sufficient finance and income in arranging the
education and developing institutions growth are
needed for. If public vocational educations have
been supported by the government budget, but
the private ones have to fundraise on their own.
The public vocational institutions or under
government or public organizations have been
supported as the general subsidy (Act of National
Education, Section 60), but the private ones have
made it by themselves for their institution
activities. In the general business part, income has
been from the sale and service offering and
marketing as a tool for sale and service for
received income,
Significance of the Study
• The presented information, hence, are found that
the higher education requirement in 2002 – 2011
according to The Higher Education Development
Plan Issue 10 B.E. 2550 – 2554 and the estimated
students in 10 years : academic year 2004-2013
trends to increase or implies that the higher
education market is larger. It causes the
spreading market to the vocational education
together with the increase of various institutions.
The competition is respectively increased.
• Moreover the private institutions must
fundraise to manage all higher
education matters, but the public ones
have been supported by the
government. The private vocational
institutions ‘survival and growth depend
on the students who register because it
is the main income of the institutions.
UNESCO and many marketing
academics support to apply the
marketing concept to administrate and
provide for the public and private
institutions’ finance.
