Son La (VNA) – The Education and Training Department of the northwestern province of Son La on September 12 held a seminar on measures to improve the sector’s quality with the education and sports departments from seven Lao provinces.

As heard at the event, Son La is home to 610 kindergartens, general schools, and continuing education centres, offering education to more than 375,000 students. Since 2001, the province has trained close to 2,300 Lao students, who have graduated with qualifications ranging from college and university degrees to master's degrees. Additionally, 3,939 Lao students have received Vietnamese language training there.

Participating Lao provinces consisted of Houaphanh, Luang Prabang, Oudomxay, Phongsaly, Xieng Khouang, Xayaburi, and Bokeo.

Their representatives expressed a wish for continued support for Lao students from the Son La department in areas such as Vietnamese language training, undergraduate and graduate education, and training in the use of educational equipment and laboratory tools.

They proposed Son La share its experiences in addressing work-induced high school dropout rates, improving teacher quality and educational policies, promoting preschool education for five-year-old children, and eradicating illiteracy.

The provincial department said it will report these requests to Son La authorities to strengthen cooperation, discussions, and mutual support with the Lao provinces.

Xi Von Pheng Mixay, Deputy Director of the Oudomxay Department of Education and Sports, stated that the Lao delegates had learned many valuable lessons from Son La, expected to help boost the development of education and training in these northern provinces toward efficiency and effectiveness in the time to come./.
