(KPL) Ambassador Designate of the Republic of Singapore to Laos, Mr Jeyaraj Benjamin William, on 2 October held here a tea reception for the two Lao students awarded scholarship to further their study in Singapore.
The recipients under Singaporean 2008 ASEAN Secondary Three Scholarship are two boys Athit Chanthalath and Adari Rasphone. Both will continue their study at Singapore’s top secondary school and junior college.
The scholarship programme is part of the Singaporean Government’s long-term efforts in helping its ASEAN neighbours develop their human resources.
Both grantees will take part in the General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level) Examinations at the end of their four-year study.
The two Lao students will also prepare themselves to adjust to the culture and living conditions of Singaporean people, said the Ambassador Designate.
This is the eighth year Lao students have been offered the ASEAN scholarship from the government of Singapore.
“The students should concentrate on their study and make friends with Singaporean classmates to exchange culture of their own countries,” added the ambassador designate.
