11th August 2013
We celebrated a memorable day for the LEOT English Learning Centre when we were joined by His Excellency Mr Philip Malone UK Ambassador to Laos for our first Awards Day.
The day marked a very important landmark for the centre which opened it doors in Luang Prabang Laos in September 2012 with just over eighty pupils. Since that time we have been overwhelmed by the demand for places from disadvantaged pupils in the town. To meet the demand LEOT accelerated its plans and increased student numbers to just over one hundred and thirty places midway through the year.
It's great to celebrate the success of our students and thank our dedicated team of local teachers supported by our foreign volunteers
We believe that education should be enjoyable.
Teaching exclusively in small classes with an interactive style which requires active participation by all students.
The majority of our pupils are young and attend the Centre for one and a half hours a day five days a week. Many are working part time to support themselves and may also be studying at a local school or University.
Our students are required to attend at least eighty percent of scheduled teaching hours and are tested on a monthly basis with either oral or written tests.
What makes our Centre unique in Luang Prabang is it is part of a UK registered charity and is FREE for all pupils.
We ask all students to pay an annual registration fee that is returned on completion of their course .
We are completing plans for admissions in September of this year and plan an intake of one hundred and eighty pupils.
October 2013 will see the start of our next major project when we will acquire land adjoining the centre to build a dormitory block that will allow us to recruit students from the Countryside. These pupils are even poorer than those from the town. Poverty removes any possibility of continuing education.
Phase one of the project will be completed in Spring 2014 with the first twenty places.
