(KPL) Three Vietnamese localities — Son La Province, Hue City and Quang Tri Province — are preparing to introduce Lao language classes in public primary and secondary schools in border areas to expand students’ language-learning opportunities and strengthen educational cooperation between Vietnam and Laos.

According to Lao-Viet Magazine, Son La Province and Hue City plan to launch pilot programmes in the 2026-2027 academic year, while Quang Tri Province is scheduled to begin teaching Lao in the 2027-2028 academic year.

The initiative aims to promote Lao language learning among Vietnamese students in border communities, encourage cross-border exchanges and strengthen the longstanding friendship and cooperation between the two neighbouring countries.
