摘要本文探讨了在老挝教育中纳入女性和少数民族学生的可能性和限制，以提供全民教育。女性和少数民族在老挝教育中历来处于不利地位，因此，为包容这些群体而进行的改革是值得欢迎的。文章提供了关于老挝人民民主共和国四所教师培训机构的教师和学生如何经历包容性改革的丰富信息。结果表明，包容性策略有利于女性和少数民族学生，但在不同的方式。多数族裔群体的女学生一般受益于个人学习津贴，因为这为她们提供了超越性别期望的空间。然而，少数民族学生更多地受益于在较小群体环境中工作的机会，因为他们可以得到其他学生的支持，特别是在语言方面，这往往证明是对第一语言与教学语言不同的学生的限制。尽管在包容妇女和少数民族方面取得了积极进展，但仍需要进一步发展和加强这些努力，以支持弱势群体继续融入老挝社会。
Abstract This article explores possibilities and constraints for the inclusion of female and ethnic minority students in Lao education in order to provide education for all. Females and ethnic minorities have traditionally been disadvantaged in Lao education and reforms for the inclusion of these groups are therefore welcome. The article provides rich information about how teachers and students in four teacher training institutions in Lao PDR experience inclusionary reform. The results show that inclusion strategies benefit both female and ethnic minority students, but in different ways. Female students from the majority ethnic group generally benefitted from the allowance for individual learning, since this provided space for them to act outside of gendered expectations. Ethnic minority students, however, benefitted more from the opportunity to work in smaller group settings, since they could receive support from other students, especially in language, which often proved to be a constraint for students with a different first language from the language of instruction. Although there are positive developments regarding the inclusion of females and ethnic minorities, there is still need to further develop and strengthen these efforts in order to support the continued inclusion of disadvantaged groups in Lao society.
