About the Journal

The CUAST Journal is published by Concil of University Administrative Staff of Thailand (CUAST) with the aim of disseminating academic and research articles from academic support personnel in various higher education institutions. It serves as a central platform for exchanging knowledge, ideas, and suggestions that lead to collaborative problem-solving and effective work practices.
