How Laos plans to educate its young leaders
Almost a third of Laos’ population is under 14 years old, according to the CIA World Factbook. With a median age of 22, this young, vibrant generation will one day be the civil servants and business leaders of Laos.
This is Laos’ future generation, one that Minister of Education Sengdeuane Lachanthaboune hopes will become “good, honourable, healthy and high-knowledge citizens”. That makes this a crucial time for the the Ministry of Education to transform the educational landscape in Laos and improve the country’s human capital.
