The Australian Embassy, European Union and senior officials from the Ministry of Education and Sports and Ministry of Planning and Investment travelled to Khammouane, Savannakhet and Saravan Provinces to observe progress of the BEQUAL program.
The delegation met with Vice Governors of all three Provinces, together with Deputy Directors of Provincial Education and Sports Services, Teacher Training Colleges, school principals, teachers, village education development committees, parents and students.
It was fantastic to see, first hand, how the program is helping disadvantaged children access education and to learn how BEQUAL can support the education priorities of provincial and district governments.
