This study explores the effectiveness of the integrated self-sufficient education curriculum developed in Dek Thai Kaem Sai for primary and secondary schools. A qualitative research methodology where a total number of nine (9) participants were selected using a nonprobability approach. Questions concern the awareness and effectiveness of implementing and integrating sufficient economy curriculum to the regular education curriculum. Response were analysed using thematic and discourse analysis. The findings reveal that the curriculum was adequate for the target audience, but the teachers implementing the curriculum also gained knowledge in their various homes. Also, there is an attitudinal and behavioural change from students by choosing organic foods over inorganic and junk foods. The findings further reveal that the implementation of this curriculum limit the negative economic effect of covid-19 movement restriction because several family households near the school environment have farms where plant and animals are raised. Thus, when covid-19 struck, the community had alternatives. Despite the significant effect of the curriculum, it is not clear if wider schools could be able to adopt this practice.
