MICS-EAGLE: Country Report for the Lao People’s Democratic Republic

This report analyses the education-related findings from the second Lao Social Indicator Survey undertaken in 2017. It combines this analysis with policy and practice recommendations from two workshops and multiple consultations with relevant stakeholders and development partners. Education-related data from the survey are analysed in terms of a series of key research questions concerning early childhood education, access and completion at primary and secondary levels, literacy, information and communication technology skills, child labour, early marriage, and parental involvement, as well as how data and education sector planning can make schools better places to learn.
