Abstract: One of the guidelines for implementing lifelong learning is to provide a source of learning for everyone throughout their life span. The Thaitelecentre of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) is one kind of a lifelong learning source that provides a wide range of information and communication technology (ICT) services. Yet, a Thaitelecentre alone cannot be a learning source without proper management. A common concern regarding problems and components of Thaitelecentre management is the starting point of empirical data to construct the Thaitelecentre management model. In this research, the building of such a management model by means of the principle of the balanced scorecard (BSC) is a basic need for performance-related strategies to its operation.
