Development

Investing in future generations

Australia and Laos are working together to ensure every child receives a quality education, and create a lasting legacy for future generations.

The Basic Education Quality and Access in Laos program (BEQUAL) is giving more children, especially those experiencing disadvantage, the skills they need to thrive. This locally led initiative has supported the development of a new primary curriculum, accompanying teaching and learning materials, and the training of teachers nationwide. It is now focusing on improving professional development. This significant partnership is laying the foundations of an inclusive, high-equality education system in Laos.
