The brief history of Wat Sangwet School

At that time, the school was only the primary one and was open till 1942. Because of much less students, the school was closed.

The new school of the High school of Wat Sangwet
In July 1953, the abbot of Watsangwedwidsayaram then was interested in and aware of education importance, so he authorized the Ministry of Education to use the temple’s plot of 5 Rais and 2 Ghans (about 8,800 square meters) to found the school again, but served as the high school instead. Moreover, it has been named “Wat Sangwet” school from then on. However, during the building, the first and the second generations of the students were placed under Wat Bawornnivet School’s care for their study till the new school was completed in January 1955. Now The high school of Wat Sangwet is the coeducation school with its 565 students.
