Join Australian Ambassador Jean-Bernard Carrasco to watch “Learn Together”.

Happy International Children’s Day!
To celebrate Children’s Day this year, we will bring you behind the scenes of Learn Together, the new educational animation films that will be screened on Lao National TV Channel 3 and Lao Star TV from June 10thon. Australia and the European Union are proud to support this project to encourage more children to develop a love of learning and reach their full potential.

Since 2015, the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) has been in the process of revising the Lao PDR national primary curriculum, and developing new textbooks, teacher guides and other resources for the schools.

Australian Embassy officials, with the Ministry of Education and Sports and the European Union, were delighted to visit education activities in Luang Namtha and Oudomxay this week. The delegation discussed education challenges, visited the teacher training college, and saw teaching and learning and reading promotion activities at remote schools. The joint visit highlighted the strong partnership between Australia, the EU and the Lao Government in supporting quality education to children in the most disadvantaged communities.

In celebration of World Book Day, BEQUAL would like to shine the spotlight on two very dedicated caregivers from a remote Hmong village. Let’s read the story of Nou and Howa and discover how they created a reading corner for their children in their house.
