(KPL) The Japanese government has provided grant assistance of USD 46,989 for financing the construction of Nakham Primary School in Aid district, Houaphanh province.
The assistance for the educational basic development project in southern Laos is under the Grant Assistance Scheme for Grassroots Human Security Projects.
An agreement on the grant assistance was signed here yesterday between the Japanese Ambassador to Laos Junko Yokota and Deputy Director of the Office of Education of Aid district Khamla Kovongsay.
The government of Japan has so far provided grant assistance to construct 16 primary schools in this northeastern province under its Grant Assistance Scheme for Grassroots Human Security Projects, according to Ms. Junko Yokota.
“There is an acute shortage of school facilities in rural and remote areas in the Lao PDR, especially in Houaphanh province, and a number of school children face the problem of access to primary education. It is expected that primary education in these areas will be significantly improved through this project,” said Yokota.
“On behalf of Aid district, I would like to express thanks to the Japanese government and people for their provision of financial assistance for school construction and human resource development in Laos as a whole, and Aid district in particular. I hope that we would receive further assistance from the Japanese government,” said Mr. Khamla Kovongsay.
