Many schools in the capital have exercised precautionary measures.
Nirada, a private school that provides kindergarten through to secondary school education, is among the schools that have tightened security.
School officials are now in the process of issuing ID cards for both students and parents and will soon require parents to show their ID cards when they pick up their children from school.
“Two weeks ago, we issued letters to parents requesting them to provide us photos in order to issue the ID cards,” a school official in charge of information provision told Vientiane Times .
The school is expected to impose the use of the ID cards within the next month.
Last week, a kindergarten run by the Ministry of Education and Sports issued an announcement calling for parents' cooperation to exercise precautionary measures. The school referred to the announcement from the Government Office.
