Molilokayaram Educational Institute

        As previously mentioned, this temple had been served   as an elementary school for many princes of King Rama II  during early Rattanakosin period. It also provided the Pali  language teaching with oral examinations.

        In 1991 Wat Molilokayaram was appointed to be the  monastic educational institute with an aim to provide the education of dhamma scriptures of both Pali language and dhamma essence (Nakdham) and plans to supply very qualified Buddhist  descendants.   At present, although  this institute is of medium  size and generates 100-200 monks examinee to enter the  annual central Pali-examination,  it  wins  respectively  the record of achieving the highest number of students passing the Pali-examination  in  Bangkok Metropolitan in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012  and the outstanding students had received the administration scholarship.

        At present there are altogether 20 teachers and 100-140   student monks/novices. The institute also provides Pali courses for students from other temples in Bangkok Metropolitan  and upcountry. The Pali section has eight levels   giving classes on Pali grammar up to the ninth level of  Buddhist theology, while Dhamma section has three levels  of classes, i.e dhamma scholar of the third, second and  advanced levels.

        The monastery has very limited space and facilities and needs to improve both classrooms and accommodations  tremendously in order to cope with more than 200  monks/novices each year.
