Sukavich Rangsitpol (Template:Lang-th RTGS: Sukkhawit Rangsitphon; born 5 December 1935) is a Thai education reform business executive and politician. He served as deputy prime minister (1994, 1996–97) and minister of education (1995–97) of Thailand.

Early Life and Education

Rangsitpol completed a bachelor's degree in political science at Thammasat University in 1960 and the Management Development Program of Asian Institute of Management, Manila in 1976.

Business Career

He started working as a sales representative for Caltex Oil Thailand in 1961, being promoted to sales supervisor, district manager, general sales manager and general manager over the following decades. He finally served as chairman and managing director of that company during the early 1990s.

Political Career

Rangsitpol was Senator in 1987, National Legislative Assembly in 1991, and Senator Thai Senate in 1992.

Between 1993 and 1994 he was the governor of the Expressway and Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (ETA).

In 1994, Rangsitpol joined the New Aspiration Party (NAP) of retired general Chavalit Yongchaiyudh and was appointed deputy prime minister in Chuan Leekpai's cabinet in October of the same year. Together with Chamlong Srimuang and transport minister Vichit Surapongchai he formed a team to tackle Bangkok's traffic problems. However, he lost that position after a few weeks. Sukavich was appointed minister of education in Banharn Silpa-archa's cabinet in July 1995. In addition, he was the secretary-general of the NAP from 1995 to 1997. He was alleged to have contributed 100 million baht to the party's campaign fund.

Education Reform

Rangsitpol as Minister of Education launched a series of education reforms in 1995. The aim was to enhance the quality of education from 1995 to achieve educational excellence by 2007.

According to John Cogan (Professor of Education, University of Minnesota, USA) and Derricott, Ray (Director, Centre for Continuing Education, University of Liverpool) · 2014 in Citizenship for the 21st Century: An International Perspective on Education, he saw education as "the instrument for human development, creating peace for mankind and national security"

He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1996, representing Bangkok's 13th constituency. After New Aspiration's electoral victory, Sukavich again was a deputy prime minister in Chavalit Yongchaiyudh's cabinet in addition to his post as Minister of Education. Moreover, he served as Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) council president in 1996.


On 26 December 1996, in a report in the Bangkok Post, the Rajabat Institute Council, the collective governing body of all of Thailand's colleges, declared that it would bar homosexuals from enrolling in any of its teacher training schools, the idea of Deputy Education Minister Suraporn Danaitangtrakul.

This has never been approved because it probably was against the minister of education(His Excellency Mr.Sukavich Rangsitpol) speech recorded by UNESCO.page 53-56

* I strongly believe that, as a citizen of the world, any person has the right to learn

  • and should be entitled to have access to education according to their competency and needs.
  • It is essential that the government provide educational services that respond to the people’s needs.
  • Education, therefore, has to be organized in such a way that people from all walks of life can participate in educational activities at levels and times of their preference.
  • With regard to the learning society, as I mentioned earlier, optimistically, people from all walks of life should be able to have equal access to education according to their needs and potentials.
  • All sort of boundaries, be their gender, age, socio-economic status, physical or mental disabilities have to be eliminated.

Rangsitpol also lost the deputy premiership in November 1997 when Chavalit was ousted by a no-confidence vote during the Asian financial crisis.

In 2001 Rangsitpol was re-elected as member of parliament, being number three of the New Aspiration Party list. Together with party leader Chavalit Yongchaiyudh and most of the NAP lawmakers, he switched to the Thai Rak Thai Party (TRT) of prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra later in the same year.

In 2005, he was re-elected once again, this time a representative of the TRT party list. As one of 111 executive members of the TRT, he was banned from political activities for five years after the 2006 coup d'état. He expressed no wish to return to politics after the ban expired.
