Scope and content : July 25, 1960. The chief district officer went to inspect the border areas because there were a high number of immigrants from Laos. The provincial education officer told Moerman that last year about 20% of the grade 4 primary school students from the Chiang Kham district failed the examination. Most of these children lived far from the schools. Many parents sent their children to attend private schools because the instruction focused on preparing the children to study at a higher level of education (university). This was in contrast to the government high schools, where the syllabus focused on the trade professions (such as woodworking, gardening work).
