Rajabahat university was founded in 1975 (B.E. 2500). It was formerly known as the "Nakhon Si Thammarat Teacher Training School." In 1975 the university was renamed "Nakhon Si Thammarat Teachers College." The college offered two types of programs. The first was a Lower Certificate in Education. This was a two-year program implemented to train graduates for teaching positions at the elementary school level. The second program offered a Higher Certificate in Education. This was also a two-year program, but it prepared graduates for teaching in secondary schools. In 1975, the college began offering four-year bachelor's degree programs in Education. The areas of study offered were by the Teachers College Act of 1975. A surplus of teachers resulted in the 1984 revision of the Act. The Teacher Education Department was represented by 36 teacher training colleges with a diversified curriculum to train the workforce in fields other than Education. The curricula aimed to equip students with competence, professional attitudes, knowledge, and the skills required to succeed in their future careers. The curricula also provided work practice opportunities and on-the-job training for specific target groups. Rajabhat Institutes have always focused on regional areas development. At present, all Rajabhat Institutes have been re-designated as universities by the Thai Ministry of Education. They are officially recognized as "Rajabaht University."
