Hill tribes are traditionally illiterate, and were unable to attend schools due to lack of facilities, a lack of parental income and the need to use child labor in farming. Children in the Royal Project now almost universally receive primary schooling in specifically built local schools and can pursue secondary schooling if they and their parents wish. There is also a scholarship program allowing further education. Moreover, the Royal Project provides extensive non-formal education to children and adults on health, farming, the environment, business skills and career development. Another great achievement was social and community development through health and education improvements, education on family planning, women’s issues and reproductive rights, and support for individual entrepreneurialism through encouraging eco-tourism and handicraft and increasing incomes.
