Laos: International school in Luang Prabang:

As a parent of a young student who attends Kiettisack School in Luang Prabang, I know that all is not well with that school, despite the public assurances that the new British headmaster has given. I've spoken privately with the headmaster to voice my concerns about a number of issues, especially concerning the building site where my son is expected to study in the 2013/14 school year. It seems that the headmaster is being thwarted at every turn by the autocratic Lao director in his efforts to improve this school, both in the introduction of forward-thinking school policies and in the completion of the new school site. I have complete confidence in this new headmaster, and I hear that he is very popular and has total support from his foreign and Lao staff. Unfortunately, due to the short-sightedness of the school director, (the same person who rules the sister school in Vientiane), he has not been delegated any authority whatsoever to implement these much-needed policies. I doubt very much that he'll be willing to remain in this powerless, figurehead role for much longer, and his departure will be a great loss for this new school. Simon, I have spoken to other parents, and they support you 100% in your vision for this new school. I wish you luck in winning over the director. Please, for the sake of our children and your staff, do not give up your struggle. A Concerned Parent
