Do you believe USD 3,000,000 to goes to Lao childrens? I think when the money reach these poor childrens may left only 3,000,000 Gip and the rest gone to some manies hands.
In each year Lao receiving money from many ways from the riches world but how many percentage of these money is reaching their hands.
Donation of this big money this round...many peoples in the dark shadow is coming out from the cape again hahaha....
the children of rich family will get the scholarship?
the top student in the class will get the scholarship?
if compare between the poor family and normal+rich family in Laos, I am sure that the majority of top students in the class are from the Normal and rich family. therefore the project won't help poor student to get higher education, in contrast, the project will help those students from the normal and rich families to get higher education. i hope this project is really help the poor kids in the remote area, but how? build them a school and library and computer. provide the area with good teacher and good education system.
I don't believe that all the money will end up in the hand of middle class or rich people in Lao, or just them qualify for higher education, this is base on what I knew. I have a friend his nick name is TOOK he is from poor family in rural of Lao not even in city, but he is good....in his study and qualified to study abroad and now he came back to Lao and working for Lao government, his field is Stock Exchange, he graduated from ANU of Australia ( Master Degree of Economic ). So if you study hard and good you will success one day....no matter you are rich or poor....Do you think now you just buy your way in to study in USA, or Australia, Japan or France...I don't think. You must past some sort of exam before you will be able to gain an entry to these countries universities.

i can see, Lao education needs help from aboard, if u can read lao on the image, if i am not wrong Lao language was completely wrong. shame- shame
EDF Laos/Minsai Centre has been working in Laos for many years, the Japanese are familiar with the situation & problems with corruption in Laos. That's why they focus on Khammouane, Savannakhet, Salavan & Sekong provinces - these are the places where they can make a greater difference to kids from poor areas. Other NGOs like Village Focus Intl & World Education also focus on Salavan, where there are still districts like Ta-Oy that can be totally cut off from the outside world for months during the rainy season, & still some rural kids who get the chance to start their primary school education only when they are as old as 15 years.

Your friend is just one single person...what percentage of poor but smart & hardworking Lao students in rural areas can be as lucky as him?
Your friend is just one single person...what percentage of poor but smart & hardworking Lao students in rural areas can be as lucky as him?............................
i don't think, that anyone can give you the right answer. i would say, that it's not a high percentage of the rural poor kids, that get higher education. by said that, it's not discrimination or the kind of, but the life style of the rural ppl. when you live in the remote villages, your experiences and you thinking is hard to be faster than of the ppl who are living in the modern and world communicated cities/towns area. don't jump to conclusion that the administrative's policies to give more oppotunities just for the rich, but excepting the riches are more likely having advantage. BTW i m one of the less fortuned to get here where i m without to be rich. to be rich is not wrong, but to be poor, something you, yourself need improvement.
i can see, Lao education needs help from aboard, if u can read lao on the image, if i am not wrong Lao language was completely wrong. shame- shame.................................
i can not see anything is wrong in lao language on the background, would you point that out please

Education for Lao children is the means to country development.
If many Lao kids have poor basic education----not many of them achieve higher education---not many of young adult specialize on particular fields----few capable top class Lao leaders.......How can Laos be developed that fast.
Nothing bad about second or third wife, but shameful for all woman consumerists!
Education for Lao children is the means to country development.
