Qualitative research methods were employed, which involved two sample groups: 1) those experiencing educational inequality, including students and parents in the Bangkok area and 2) 5 experts in educational inequality. The tools used for data collection were a semi-structured interview, focusing on the outcomes and impacts of educational inequality and drafting guidelines for organizing education to promote educational equality among secondary school students in Bangkok. This research is qualitative data analysis.
                The research results were divided into 2 parts: 1) Narratives depicting educational inequality among secondary school students in Bangkok. 1.1 The educational aspect 1.2 The social aspect. and       1.3 The economic aspect. It was found that all three factors, directly and indirectly, affected students' access to quality education. 2) Guidelines for organizing education to create educational equality for secondary school students in Bangkok include: 1. At the individual level, it was found that an educational management style should aim to foster a strong understanding between students and schools, considering diverse learning methods and each student's well-being. This approach seeks to develop student's abilities to identify their potential from their passions and aptitudes, enabling them to apply gained knowledge and experiences to their careers or further studies at a higher level, based on their potential and pride.    2. At the community level, it was found that educational management guidelines should strive to instigate positive societal changes. This involves implementing contemporary teaching and learning principles, allowing students to reach their full potential by leveraging Bangkok's diversity, and integrating resources for maximum benefit. The aim is to create quality human resources, fostering conflict resolution, reconciliation, and sustainable equality within society.
