The Ministry of Education and Sports of Laos, in partnership with the Australian Government, presented the achievements of the “Spoken Lao teaching and learning materials” at the What Works Hub for Global Education Conference 2026, held at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom, from 15–16 September.

The presentation shared Laos’ important lessons and experience in using evidence and findings from classroom-based research to develop an education innovation and scale it up nationally. The initiative began with a pilot in seven districts between 2019 and 2021, before expanding to 21 districts during the 2023–2024 school year. Based on the results of the pilot, evaluation and continuous improvement, Spoken Lao was formally incorporated into supplementary teaching and learning for the Lao language subject within the national curriculum.

The teaching and learning materials focus on developing Lao listening and speaking skills among Grade 1 primary students. They are particularly intended for students whose mother tongue, or first language, is not Lao, as well as students who experience difficulties or are progressing slowly in Lao language learning. The package includes a teacher guide, student books, educational games, paper puppets and vocabulary cards. It uses student-centred teaching and learning approaches.

Vongphet Oudomlith, Director General of the Research Institute for Educational Sciences, Ministry of Education and Sports, said: “This work is an excellent example of how real problems from the classroom can be developed into a solution at national level through the use of scientific evidence. This was achieved through close cooperation with the Australian Government, through the Basic Education Quality and Access in Lao PDR program, or BEQUAL. The initiative was implemented and improved systematically, in line with the principles of education science.”

Keomany Thongpaseuth, Vice Head of the Lao Language Research Center, Research Institute for Educational Sciences, further emphasised: “The presentation at the University of Oxford was not only an opportunity to showcase the Spoken Lao initiative. It was also an opportunity to share Lao PDR’s experience with the international education community. It demonstrated that evidence-informed pilots, supported by collaboration, evaluation and continuous improvement, can progress towards policy development and practical implementation at national level.”

Meanwhile, Michael Currie, First Secretary at the Australian Embassy in Laos and the Embassy’s representative overseeing BEQUAL, said: “The Australian Embassy is very proud to have supported the Ministry of Education and Sports in developing the Spoken Lao teaching and learning materials. This achievement demonstrates the value of cooperation in creating sustainable work that can be applied in practice. These materials will help establish a strong foundation in language and literacy for children from the beginning of their schooling. This is an important foundation for learning in every subject. It is also a lesson that can be shared internationally, and an investment that lays an important foundation for human resource development and the long-term development of Lao PDR.”

Participation in this international conference also provided an important opportunity for the Lao delegation to exchange knowledge and learn about research findings, pilots and experiences in education reform from many countries. These lessons will provide important information and ideas for adaptation in research, curriculum development, innovation pilots and efforts to improve the quality of learning in Lao PDR.

In particular, the lessons will support the ongoing reform of the general education curriculum structure, from 5+4+3 to 6+3+3, led by the Ministry of Education and Sports. The participation also helped expand cooperation and academic exchange networks with researchers and experts from different countries, so that appropriate lessons can be adapted to the Lao context in the future.

Firstpack Engineers Custom Colours That Go Beyond the Pantone Chart for a Global Luxury House

Singapore’s 50-year packaging house formulates a bespoke tone close to real human skin — plus a signature couture black — for a leading French luxury beauty maison, colours no standard Pantone reference could reproduce.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 September 2026 – Firstpack, a Singapore-and-Johor packaging manufacturer with more than fifty years and three generations behind its press floor, has developed custom ink colours for a leading French luxury beauty maison that reach beyond the standard Pantone matching system — a true-to-life skin tone for one of the maison’s flagship product lines, and a deep, signature black.

Some colours simply live outside the books. The Pantone system is the global language of print colour, yet a lifelike human skin tone and a truly saturated, dimensional black both sit at the edges of what any standard swatch can specify. For a house of this calibre, where the packaging is part of the product’s promise, matching “close to” a reference was never going to be enough.

Rather than settle for the nearest library match, Firstpack’s colour team formulated each shade from the ground up as a dedicated custom ink. The skin tone was built to read as real skin — warm and natural rather than flat or printed. The black was engineered for depth and richness beyond a standard process or spot black. Each colour was profiled and proofed on X-Rite spectrophotometry and held to a tight Delta-E tolerance across the full run, so every carton left the floor matching its target — sheet after sheet, batch after batch.

“Some colours don’t exist in any book — you have to build them,” said [Joseph Tan, Director], Firstpack. “A skin tone has to look like skin, and a signature black has to have depth you can feel. We formulate the colour until it’s right, then make it repeatable at scale. That’s the difference between printing a colour and engineering one.”

The work draws on a capability Firstpack has invested in for decades: colour that is measured, not guessed. Its six-colour Mitsubishi offset presses, in-line spectrophotometric control, hot-foil finishing and die-cutting let it serve luxury, beauty and F&B brands across Singapore and the region — where the box is the first impression a brand makes, long before a word is read.

TIANJIN, China, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published ISO 21756:2026, the world’s first international standard for single-herb Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula granules. Titled Traditional Chinese Medicine — Salvia miltiorrhiza Root and Rhizome Aqueous Extract Granules, the standard represents a significant step forward in promoting global quality harmonization of TCM.

Led by Professor Gao Wenyuan from the School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology at Tianjin University, with Professor Li Xia as a core member, the standard was developed in collaboration with Tasly Pharmaceutical Group and China Resources Sanjiu. Through multiple international seminars and rigorous technical reviews with experts from dozens of countries, the team forged broad global consensus for the standard’s publication.

TCM formula granules represent a modernized innovation of traditional herbal decoctions. They preserve the core TCM principles of syndrome differentiation and personalized treatment while solving preparation and storage challenges. This format aligns with global demands for standardization, making it increasingly accessible and acceptable to international markets.

Salvia miltiorrhiza is a globally recognized herb, with growing international demand for its formula granules. However, the absence of unified production protocols and quality evaluation standards has long hindered the globalization of these products.

ISO 21756:2026 fills this gap by establishing systematic regulations across the product lifecycle—from raw material traceability to finished product testing. The standard introduces quantifiable metrics, including characteristic chromatograms, content assays, and safety limits, providing a unified benchmark for global production. Moreover, it offers a replicable and scalable pathway for developing ISO standards for other single-herb formula granules.

Serving as the core technical support for this standard, Tianjin University was deeply involved in every stage of its development. The university’s team continuously refined the feasibility studies and technical framework, and guided the design of the overall technical architecture and the establishment of testing methodologies. “We also optimized technical clauses in strict accordance with ISO rules and international pharmacopoeial requirements, and led international conference defenses to drive global consensus,” Professor Gao said.

He added that accelerating the implementation of international standards for TCM formula granules not only safeguards international trade but also promotes the global dissemination of TCM.

Looking ahead, the team plans to collaborate with TCM enterprises and international standardization bodies to advance the development of additional international standards, contributing to global public health.
