Partnership Meeting to Support the Non-Formal Education Programme 13 February, Vientiane Plaza Hotel

In achieving Sustainable Development Goal on Education (SDG4): Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, providing Non-formal education (NFE) is an important strategy and a practical pathway in providing all Out-of-School-Children, youth and adults with effective learning opportunities.

For several decades, the Department for Non-Formal Education (DNFE) of the Ministry for Education and Sports, UNESCO Bangkok and DVV International have been promoting NFE programmes for Out-of-School Children, unemployed youth and illiterates in remote regions of Lao PDR. In the last few years, more than 8,743 out-of-school children benefited from the programmes and 26 Community Learning Centers have been established to offer learning opportunities to remote communities.

However, there are still more than 380,000 children and youth who have inadequate access to education and millions of adults who need skills and functional literacy in Lao PDR. Education targeted for many disadvantaged still receives inadequate technical and financial supports.  To this effect, UNESCO Bangkok in cooperation with DNFE, DVV International and the National Commission for UNESCO of Lao PDR invites the representatives of leading companies in Lao PDR to a partnership meeting to seek their support. The specific objectives of the meeting are to present current learning programmes and its achievements, and to identify opportunities and resources for effective collaboration in offering additional learning opportunities for out-of-school children and the establishment of Non-Formal Education Centers on the District and village level.
