📚 Strengthening Teachers, Building Futures 🌏
EduSEA, an AEIF-funded team of alumni from Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, and a #YSEALINext-initiated group, recently completed their second round of teacher training in Southern Laos – this time in Pakse and surrounding areas.
With support from the U.S. Mission to ASEAN and @StateDept, they equipped local educators with modern, student-centered teaching methods — tools often unavailable in the region.
