The party was founded with Athipong Boonphleung serving as the party leader and Hatahinuch Boonphleung as the party secretary. The party was dissolved in 2010 but was later re-established in 2011. The party’s primary policy focus is on debt relief for teachers and addressing issues related to the student loan fund.
History
Founding Era, 2009
The Thai Teachers for People Party was established under the Political Party Act B.E. 2007 and was officially registered as political party number 13/2009 on August 7, 2009. The founding leaders were Athipong Boonphleung, serving as the party leader, and Hatahinuch Boonphleung, serving as the party secretary. The party's office was initially located at Makkhuda Akhet Building, Krung Kasem Road, Bang Khun Phrom Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok.
However, on July 11, 2010, the general assembly of the Thai Teachers for People Party resolved to dissolve the party. This dissolution was officially announced on August 19, 2010, in accordance with the political party registrar's order No. 60/2010.
Founding Era, 2011
On June 28, 2011, the **Thai Teachers for People Party** was re-registered, with Nattawat Boonphleungpan and Hatahinuch Boonphleung as the party leader and secretary, respectively. The party continued to use the same office as during its original registration.
Later, on September 21, 2012, Nattawat resigned from his position as the party leader, leading to the resignation of the entire executive committee. The party convened an extraordinary general meeting on September 29, 2012, during which Prida Boonphleung was elected as the new party leader, and Nattawat Boonphleungpan was appointed as the new secretary.
Prida Boonphleung resigned from his position as party leader on April 27, 2014, prompting the resignation of the entire executive committee.
On October 29, 2018, the party held its first general meeting of 2018 to amend its regulations, political declarations, and policies, as well as elect a new executive committee. Prida Boonphleung was re-elected as party leader, and Suwich Yo Thongyoth was appointed as the new party secretary. The party also relocated its office to Thananangnae Subdistrict, Waeng Noi District, Khon Kaen Province.
On October 30, 2021, the party held its annual general meeting, where Prida Boonphleung resigned again, leading to the resignation of the executive committee. A new election was held, resulting in Prida being re-elected as party leader, with Professor Dr. Chaiporn Thanathavakit, a former dean at Bangkok Thonburi University, being chosen as the new party secretary.
On March 3, 2023, 13 members of the executive committee resigned, leaving only 10 members remaining. The following day, the party held its annual general meeting to amend the party's regulations, replacing the 2018 rules with a new version for 2023. A new executive committee of 27 members was elected, with Prida remaining as party leader and Phairoj Krajangpan, a former deputy leader, becoming the new party secretary.
On April 9, 2023, Karnika Ussreecha, a member of the executive committee, submitted her resignation, leaving 26 members remaining on the committee.
