3. Analysis of factors affecting educational quality of SME program consists of four elements:
1. Aspect of external environment and personnel input include 17 variables. The most
influential variable is self-centeredness which students partake in teaching and learning management.

and activity outcome. Moreover, learner should be interested in themselves first which correspond to
National Education Act of B.E.2542Chapter 4 Section 22. It states that education shall be based on the principle
that all learners are capable of learning and self- development, and are regarded as being most important.

the best of their potentiality. 2. Aspect of management process is composed
of 12 variables. The most influential variable is community or parents which are able to encourage and
support the SME program admission unless the program would be cancelled. Higher tuition fees in this program

extrovert and increasing their confidence to pride on themselves. The schools should enhance students by
using activities which promote the best of their potentiality.
