Abstract

EdTech Hub country scans explore factors that enable and hinder the use of technology in education. This includes policies, government leadership, private-sector partnerships, and digital infrastructure for education. The scans are intended to be comprehensive but are by no means exhaustive. Nonetheless, we hope they will serve as a useful starting point for more in-depth discussions about opportunities and barriers in EdTech in specific countries, and in this case, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR). This report was originally written in February 2024. It is based primarily on desk research, with quality assurance provided by a country expert based at the Australian Council for Educational Research.
