Several studies around the world indicate that local ethnic teachers achieve better results for remote communities
Local ethnic teachers understand the language and the culture of their students which is critical for the first years of schooling and Lao language acquisition.
As Boualy and Sokhong, more than 360 students from disadvantaged Lao ethnic villages received a scholarship to attend a three to four-year training programme at a Teacher Training College. Once graduated, they will come back to their communities in remote rural villages as qualified primary teachers.
