The purposes of this research were: (1) to study the level of T-Shaped skills among primary school students under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, and (2) to study the relationship between broad and deep skills. The study is descriptive and uses quantitative data collection techniques. The sample group consisted of teachers from 26 schools under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s Department of Education, selected using multi-stage random sampling. The research instrument was a T-Shaped skill assessment form for primary school students under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, designed as a 5-point Likert scale. Data analysis utilized statistical methods, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, and correlation coefficient. The results of the research show that: 1) The level of T-Shaped skills among students was high. Deep skills were also at a high level. When considering each aspect, the broad skills that students have the most are leadership skills, communication skills, and teamwork skills. The deep skills that students have the most are reading skills. 2) The relationship between broad skills and deep skills was highly positive (r=.881).
