Ministry of Education, Australia ensure all students receive Lao language support they need when starting school

The Lao PDR is a culturally rich and diverse country, with four main ethnolinguistic groups incorporating over 50 languages. Almost 40% of the Lao population speak a language other than Lao. Many grade 1 students, especially those from remote and disadvantaged areas, begin their first year of school without the necessary oral Lao language skills needed to learn, given that Lao language is the language of instruction. How can these students effectively learn and participate in classroom activities if they don’t understand the teacher?
