Integrating social enterprise concepts into education management serves as an essential mechanism for nurturing social innovation entrepreneurs who can generate income independently while maintaining social responsibility. This process contributes directly to sustainable economic growth. The present study, therefore, aimed to examine the management of southern vocational colleges as a model for developing social entrepreneurs nationwide. The research objective was to propose management strategies for southern vocational colleges that promote social entrepreneurship. This was a future-oriented research study employing the Ethnographic Delphi Future Research (EDFR) technique. Data were collected using unstructured interviews and questionnaires from 21 experts selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis utilized median, mode, and interquartile range (IQR) statistics, along with content analysis.  \nFindings revealed that expert opinions were consistent across all four indicators and sixteen components (Mdn ≥3.50,Q3-Q1 ≤1.50) . The results led to the development of three main strategies and seven sub-strategies as follows:  \n(1) Curriculum and learning development for nurturing social entrepreneurs, including (1.1) competency-based curriculum design for solving social and sustainability issues,(1.2) creation of interdisciplinary learning mechanisms with local social enterprise partners, and (1.3) establishment of a comprehensive measurement and evaluation system for social enterprise success; (2) Enhancing personnel competency to become coaches and incubators of local social enterprises, including (2.1) strengthening business incubation expertise and (2.2) developing local innovation experience; and (3) Building ecosystems and partnership networks to promote local social enterprises, including (3.1) establishing communication systems and joint decision-making mechanisms within partner networks, and (3.2) promoting collaboration in resource allocation and operational space for social enterprises.  \nKeywords: management strategy, entrepreneur, social enterprise, vocational education  \n1. Introduction  \n1.1 Introduce the Problem  \nThe current Thai government’s educational policy emphasizes “human capital” as the cornerstone of national development. The government seeks to promote the development of Thai people at all ages to their fullest potential, identifying and supporting out-of-school children and youth, and reforming vocational and higher education to meet future labor demands and foster lifelong learning. This direction aligns with Section 54 of the Thai Constitution (MOE 360° 2024) . Thailand faces major challenges, including digital transformation, international cooperation on greenhouse gas reduction, an aging population, geopolitical conflicts, food and energy security risks, and emerging diseases. The 13th National Economic and Social Development Plan (2023–2027) aims to implement structural transformation to overcome current limitations, enhance national capacity, and create opportunities from global changes across economic, social, and environmental dimensions, driving Thailand toward a progressive society and a sustainable value-based economy (Bangkok Biz News, 2022) .  \nThe establishment of the National Social Enterprise ","cbCaifw6Y3DKyAIr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifw6Y3DKyAIr","pdf",222490,6,1,9,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Introduce the Problem\n# Findings and Proposed Strategies\n## Curriculum and Learning Development\n## Enhancing Personnel Competency\n## Building Ecosystems and Partnership Networks","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s main aim regarding southern vocational colleges?\",\"answer\":\"To develop management strategies for southern vocational colleges that promote social entrepreneurship nationwide.\"},{\"question\":\"What research method and data collection were used?\",\"answer\":\"A future-oriented Ethnographic Delphi Future Research approach was used, with data collected via unstructured interviews and questionnaires from 21 experts.\"},{\"question\":\"What key strategies were proposed in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Three main strategies were developed: curriculum and learning development, enhancing personnel competency as coaches/incubators, and building ecosystems and partnership networks.\"}]","Strategy for Educational Administration in Southern Vocational Colleges -
