Classes began on July 8th 1948. Its original purpose was to produce vocational teachers with a certificate of secondary school teachers. The school permitted students who had graduated from a higher-level vocational training school to be able to continue their studies in a 2-year degree program in the field of women’s arts and crafts.

1995 After the declaration of the Rajabhat Institute Act in 1995 that all teacher colleges had been elevated as Rajabhat Institutes, the name of Dhonburi Teacher College was officially renamed as ‘Dhonburi Rajabhat Institute’. During that year, the institute began an international academic exchange project with the Educational Committee of the Jilin Province and Northeast Normal University (P.R. China) and latter expanded academic collaboration to other countries in the following years, for example, Taiwan, and the Philippines.
