SoKru — Lamplaimat Pattana School's online learning management system
An LMS that shares Lamplaimat Pattana School's “education for life” approach, enabling teachers and other schools across the country to learn from it and adapt it for their own use
Translated from Thai · reviewed by the CF team
Moving beyond a system that sorts children into winners and losers
SoKru.org is Lamplaimat Pattana School's online learning management system, run under the Lamplaimat Pattana Foundation. It challenges rote-learning and the “winners-and-losers system” that leaves children who do not excel academically behind. The school has therefore developed an “education for life” approach in which teachers, parents and communities work together to support the potential of every child.
From one school to a nationwide network
SoKru turns the school's teaching approach into online courses, making them accessible to teachers and education personnel from other schools across the country so they can learn from and adapt them. The system is built with Deep Matters LMS, which enables authors without technical expertise to create and edit courses, videos and quizzes, and automatically issues certificates upon completion.
Core courses based on the Lamplaimat Pattana approach
Thai language and literature for higher-order thinking, Jit Suksa to develop inner wisdom, problem-based learning (PBL), kindergarten-level Jit Suksa, Child-Based Learning (CBL)
Supplementary courses
English through a partner app (tkrenglish.com) and a financial literacy course
An open system for authors without technical expertise
Users can create and edit courses, videos and quizzes themselves. The system automatically issues certificates and supports mobile use.
By course: Jit Suksa 2,798 people, problem-based learning (PBL) 1,911 people, Thai language and literature for higher-order thinking 1,523 people, kindergarten-level Jit Suksa 940 people, Child-Based Learning (CBL) 149 people

Choose the question that fits your role. Answers are summarised from our own records of the work, and you can talk to the CF team from any card.
What change does this work create, and how do you know it is effective?
There are 7,330 learners in total and 1,227 schools enrolled. We have not recorded outcomes related to learners’ development or changes in their learning.
SoKru shares Lamplaimat Pattana School’s educational approach through online courses, so teachers and education personnel from other schools can access and adapt it. This Project
The figures we have show system reach and enrolment: 7,330 learners in total and 1,227 schools enrolled. This Project The data also break down learners by course, such as Jit Suksa (Jit Suksa) with 2,798 learners and problem-based learning (PBL) with 1,911 learners. This Project
These figures show the number of learners and schools that participated. They do not directly indicate whether the learning changed teaching methods or how it affected children. We have not recorded outcomes related to learners’ development, or any lessons or decisions arising from follow-up.
How was this work carried out, and what lessons can be applied going forward?
We have turned the teaching approach into online courses that authors with limited technical skills can create and edit, but we have not yet documented lessons from implementation.
SoKru has adapted Lamplaimat Pattana School’s teaching approach into online courses so that teachers and education personnel from other schools can learn from it and adapt it. This Project The core courses cover Thai literature for higher-order thinking, Jit Suksa, problem-based learning (PBL), Jit Suksa for kindergarten, and Child-Based Learning (CBL). This Project
The system uses Deep Matters LMS, which allows authors with limited technical skills to create or edit courses, videos and quizzes. It also issues certificates automatically upon course completion and supports mobile use. This Project This approach makes content from one school accessible to teachers from other schools. This Project
We have not yet documented lessons from implementation, such as obstacles to using the courses or the conditions that make adaptation effective.
What kinds of areas is this approach suitable for, and what do we need to get started in our area?
The system makes online courses accessible to teachers and education personnel at schools nationwide, who can adapt them for their own use. However, we have not documented any specific local conditions or readiness requirements.
SoKru is an online learning system that shares Lamplaimat Pattana School’s educational approach with teachers and education personnel at other schools nationwide, so they can access and adapt it for their own use. This Project This format therefore includes online course content and a system that supports learning via mobile phones. This Project
The content includes Thai language, literature for higher-order thinking, Jit Suksa, problem-based learning (PBL), Jit Suksa for kindergarten, and Child-Based Learning (CBL). This Project The system also enables authors who are not technically proficient to create or edit courses, videos and quizzes. This Project
However, we have not documented which types of areas are particularly suitable, or what staff, equipment or support an area needs to be ready to start using the system. Any implementation should therefore take local suitability into account; we have not specified any particular requirements.
What methods or tools can we start using right away?
Available tools include online courses in contemplative education, PBL, Thai language and literature for higher-order thinking, and other approaches, along with a system for creating courses, videos and quizzes that supports mobile use.
The main tool is SoKru, an online learning management system that brings together Lamplaimat Pattana School’s teaching approaches as courses, making them accessible to teachers and education personnel from other schools so they can adapt and apply them. This Project
Core courses include Thai language and literature for higher-order thinking, Jit Suksa, problem-based learning (PBL), Jit Suksa for kindergarten, and Child-Based Learning (CBL). This Project There are also supplementary courses in English through a partner app and financial literacy. This Project
For creating or adapting learning materials, Deep Matters LMS allows authors without technical expertise to create or edit courses, videos and quizzes. It automatically issues certificates upon course completion and supports mobile use. This Project These contents and tools are formats that SoKru has prepared for learning and adaptation; they are not a guarantee that they will be suitable for every context.
How is this work connected to systemic issues, and what kind of collaboration is needed?
SoKru questions rote learning and an elimination-based system by sharing approaches that support every child’s potential. Work with children and young people requires cross-sector collaboration.
SoKru addresses systemic problems by challenging rote-learning education and an elimination-based system that leaves children who are not academically strong behind. This Project An education-for-life approach aims for teachers, parents and communities to work together to support every child’s potential. This Project
SoKru has turned Lamplaimat Pattana School’s teaching approach into an online course, enabling teachers and education personnel from other schools across the country to learn and adapt it for their own use. This Project At the systemic level, our work with children and young people views well-being as encompassing the physical, mental, social and intellectual dimensions, and emphasises mobilising cross-sector collaboration through schools, teachers, public health personnel and funders. IssueChildren, Youth and Well-being
The collaboration described therefore includes both teachers and education personnel putting the learning approach into practice and support from the people around children. This Project IssueChildren, Youth and Well-being
