The visit was joined by the Vice Chairman of the Luang Namtha Provincial Administration Committee, the Chairman of the Viengphoukha District Administration Committee, the Director of the Provincial Education and Sports Department (PESD), the Director of the District Education and Sports Bureau (DESB), as well as village authorities, community leaders, and parents whose support has been instrumental to the successful implementation of the project at the local level.
Early results from the programme's first school year have been highly encouraging. Of the 800 vulnerable girls supported through FLIP, only one student dropped out of school during the 2025–2026 academic year, highlighting the project's success in helping girls remain in education during a critical stage of their learning journey.
Funded by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) through the System Transformation Grant (STG), FLIP is implemented by the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES), with Save the Children International serving as Grant Agent. The project provides scholarships to 800 vulnerable girls across five provinces and nine districts, alongside summer camps and Girls' Clubs that support literacy, numeracy, health, and wellbeing.
The visit highlighted the strong partnership between the Lao PDR and Australia in improving foundational learning and reducing the risk of school dropout, particularly among girls. 
During the visit, the delegation observed a FLIP summer camp that combines scholarships with literacy and numeracy support, as well as social-emotional learning activities designed to strengthen students' confidence and wellbeing.
Teachers reported that project training has enhanced their ability to deliver engaging and inclusive lessons, while the summer camp has helped increase students' motivation, confidence, and sense of belonging. Students shared that they enjoyed learning alongside their friends in a supportive environment and appreciated the encouragement and kindness of their teachers.
The visit concluded with a traditional Baci ceremony and student cultural performances, celebrating the rich cultural diversity of Luang Namtha and the shared commitment of schools, families, communities, and government partners to supporting children's education and wellbeing. 
As part of the visit, the Australian Embassy handed over learning and sports materials to support teaching and learning activities.
