1. Schools & Students
Laos follows a 5+4+3 system, or a 12 year curriculum where the first 5 years are considered primary, the following 4 are lower secondary and the last 3 are upper secondary. Primary education in Lao is witnessing high enrollment rates, nearing gender parity, however, quality of primary education is still a major concern. Enrollment rates in lower and upper secondary education are far lower, despite significant expansion over the last decade. Those in rural areas and ethnic minorities are the least likely to have access to secondary education (UNESCO 2008).
NOTE:
- Primary School - 5 years (Grade 1-5)
- Lower Secondary School - 4 years (Grade 6-9)
- Upper Secondary School - 3 years (Grade 10-12)
