Reaching the
most
disadvantaged
children
UNICEF Lao PDR visited
three hard-to-reach Akha-
speaking villages.
The community-based
school readiness (CBSR)
project gives villages the
tools to prepare their
children for school.

Nam Det Som
Boun village
The programme
provides villages with
the support and
materials to educate 4 &
5 year olds. The village
teachers, like Pheomeo
here, are nominated by
their community trained
by district education
bureau and sport.

Pheomeo, 17, on
her pre-school
students starting
primary school
"I was very proud and
happy. When my children
started there I went to
watch them. I saw they
knew how to sing the Lao
songs, and I saw how
much more confident they
were than the other
children who hadn't come
to my class."

New skills
"Before this project
started last year, most
Grade 1 children didn't
know how to speak or
read Lao, and didn't
know how to use a pen,"
said the local head
chief, Mr La.

Inclusive
Saphieu, 5 years old, is
one of 12 students in Nam
Det Som Boun village.
She is hearing impaired
and her teacher has to pay
special attention to her.

Teacher Pheomeo:
"I have to make sure
she sees everything,
and often I write
things down for her.
But she is very smart
and picks everything
up very quickly. Often,
when I demonstrate
something on the
board for the children
to repeat, I turn
around and she's
already completed it."

others.

Facilities
Some village pre-
schools lack basic
WASH facilities and
suitable learning
environment spaces.

AccessOne of the biggest
challenges is access to
many of the remote
villages.

Access
On this trip there was a 1
hour 45 minute walk to one
village (after a 2 hour
drive).
During the rainy season it
can take up to 3 hours in
4x4 to cover just 25km.

Access
Chanpheng is responsible
for supporting villages in
the Long District. She
regularly travels by
motorbike through
treacherous conditions.
She was praised by the
local Chief of Cabinet for
never giving up: "If she
falls off her bike, she just
gets straight back up and
keeps going."

CBSR
Without the backing
from UNICEF and
people like Chanpheng,
many Lao children
would have no
education before
entering primary school.

How many
went to
CBSR?
11 out of 13 students in
a local primary school
attended a CBSR
programme.
