(KPL) Another 43 scholarships for study in Australia were granted to Lao nationals by the Australian Government and the Australian investor - Lang Xang Minerals, last week.

The Australian Government has been providing Australian scholarships for tertiary training in Australia for more than twenty years to assist the Lao PDR in its socio-economic development and human resource needs. Australian scholarships provide Lao people with necessary skills and knowledge to drive change and influence the development of the Lao PDR. The programme supports gender equity by providing an equal number of scholarships to males and females.

The success of the Australian scholarships has been the return to their homeland of hundreds of young Lao graduates to use the skills and knowledge acquired in Australia in the national development. “There are almost 800 graduates making important contributions to development in Laos, drawing on the skills and knowledge gained through their commitment and with support from the Australian Government,” said Michael Hassett (First Secretary, Australian Embassy) when he congratulated the Australian Scholarship winners at Vientiane College on Friday 12 October.

Mr Hassett further stated that “Many awardees are now in senior decision making positions, in government, international organisations and in the private sector. Our alumni group includes a Deputy-Minister, the dean of a faculty at the National University of Laos (NUOL), an ambassador and other senior officials in the government at home and in the diplomatic service overseas. Australian Scholarship recipients are particularly valued for their high level analytical and critical thinking skills.”

Another important aspect of the Australian Scholarship programme in the Lao PDR is a partnership with the Australian mining company, Oxiana Limited through its Lao subsidiary, Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML). Oxiana provides three scholarships each year for study mining-related disciplines. After completing their studies, Oxiana scholars will work for the company and contribute to economic development in the Lao PDR. Mr Peter Albert, Managing Director of LXML said: “We are very proud to be the first private company and of being part of providing scholarships to young Lao citizens”.



Mr Hassett and Mr Albert agreed that the most important outcome of the Scholarship programme is the deepening ties it supports between Australia and Laos. They encouraged the Australian Scholarship winners not only to work hard in their studies but also to develop an understanding of Australian culture and to share their own cultural background.

I think it depends from person to person and Australia is not the best choice to study abroad for many Lao students.
If you work hard, you will get what you want most in your life.

Good luck to all

did you say from your own experience or you heard about it ?

from my experience, the country where you are learning at is not really neccessary, that you will get the best.  Everything depends on yourshelf.
most of lao students love party and gambling and the study is the last, that why you accused the country. don't forget your background too.
i think that russia has their own astronauts too right ?

He was implying there are probably more class to pick, more tools to use, better teacher and better quality. True most place will have the same type of class but how will it is being taught that is the main reason.

Yes excessive partying and drinking can be a problem but if the student want to lose face and shame their family, then it is their will to do.
