The Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES), with support from the Australian Government through the BEQUAL program, released Teacher Development Video 29 (TDV 29), which complements Teacher Support Pack 14 (TSP 14), “Supporting Students with Disabilities in the Classroom”. The video gives teachers practical guidance on how to recognize signs that a student may have difficulties with vision, hearing, mobility, attention, communication, or memory, and how to utilize the Child Functioning Module – Teacher Version correctly.

Dr Vongphet, Director General of the Research Institute for Educational Sciences said “Visual materials are essential for teachers because they make key teaching strategies easier to understand, remember, and apply in practice. TDV 29 is a useful resource for promoting inclusive teaching practices and strengthening support for every learner in the classroom.”
The video is intended for primary teachers and other education staff who support classroom teaching and learning. By helping teachers identify learning support needs and respond with simple, inclusive classroom strategies, the video supports better participation and learning for all children, including children with disabilities. This makes inclusion stronger in everyday classroom practice as early identification of learner’s needs and the simple classroom adjustments suggested in the TSP 14 can make a real difference for students with disabilities and benefit the whole class.

Mr. Michael Currie, First Secretary, Australian Embassy said “Education gives children the skills they need to build their future, and this must include children with disabilities. When teachers adapt their teaching to meet different learning needs, every child has a better chance to participate, succeed, and grow in a supportive classroom. This video will also help parents identify signs of additional learning needs early and better support their children’s development and learning at home. Australia is proud to partner with MoES in advancing practical solutions that make schools and communities more inclusive for all learners.”
Teachers can use TPS 14 to guide their teaching and learn to support students with disabilities.
The video was produced by the Information Media Center of MoES, with close collaboration with lecturers from the three target Teacher Training Colleges of Luang Namtha, Khang Khay and Savannakhet, Department of Teacher and Education Administration Development, Department of General Education and their Inclusive Education Promotion Center, public and specialized schools as well as communications and inclusion experts under the BEQUAL program. TDV 29 is also part of the Research and Learning on Disability Inclusion pilot being implemented during the full 2026–2027 academic year and will help test how the TSP 14 strategies work in practice, as well as identify any further support needed for teachers.
Parent - teacher discussions are important to support students with their learning.
The video can now be viewed on Lao ESTV – Education and Sports TV Channel on Lao Satellite 8, Khang Panya Lao, ວິດີໂອສໍາລັບການພັດທະນາຄູ Teacher Development Videos YouTube channel and on tablets used by pedagogical support staff working with teachers in the 30 target districts supported by Australia.
