Udon Pittayanukoon is a leading/prototype school for many national education projects. In 1934, Udon Pittayanukoon became the first school in the Northeast to operate grades 13–14 (in Thai at that time: Mathayom 7 – 8). In 1968, the school adopted “comprehensive teaching”, a development project by OBEC. That project resulted in the largest building expansion in the school. A science building, a library, a business education building, a gymnasium, electrical and mechanical workshops, and a teachers’ residence were the main building improvements which built at that time. In 1978, King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit gave a blueprint of the dharma building – named, “Luang Pohkaw Anarayo”, which was the first building according to the OBEC policy “bring school and religion closer together ”.
