Russia has provided a batch of textbooks and classroom technology to Lao schools that offer Russian-language instruction, marking the latest expansion of educational cooperation between the two nations.
The educational materials were formally handed over on Nov. 6 during a ceremony at the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Vientiane. Russian Ambassador to Laos Sergey V. Seskii presented the items to Sengsaden Bounlavong, director of the Ministry of Education and Sports’ Department of International Cooperation.
The donation package includes more than $22,000 worth of Russian-language textbooks, workbooks, and writing practice materials, alongside classroom hardware such as digital projectors, screens, and whiteboards.
The resources will directly benefit 14 schools across two provinces that teach Russian as part of their curriculum:
Vientiane Capital: Five primary schools and six secondary schools.
Luang Prabang Province: Three secondary schools, including a specialized boarding school for orphans.
Speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Seskii described education as a vital and expanding pillar of bilateral relations, noting that academic exchanges continue to strengthen broader diplomatic ties between Russia and Laos.
