Brocade weaving is a traditional craft and cultural identity of the Thai ethnic group, but in recent times it has tended to be lost. Therefore, the goal of the class is not only to pass on the craft and restore traditional culture, but also to contribute to improving the economic life of local people.

The budget for the class is provided according to Decision 1956/QD-TTG of the Prime Minister approving the Project "Vocational training for rural workers until 2020".
