The Education Sector Development Plan (ESDP) for 2016-2020 draws on the achievements, challenges and lessons learned from the Education Sector Development Plan 2011-2015. Based on the evidence collected during the Midterm Review, the National EFA 2015 Review and final evaluation and progress made towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals targets for Education, this plan outlines how the Education Sector will support the achievement of the overall goals and vision of the 8th Five-Year National Socio-economic Development Plan (2016-2020). The key objective of the five-year ESDP (2016-2020) is to build on the policies and strategies of the government to enable the Lao PDR to be eligible to graduate from the ranks of the least developed countries by 2020. This ESDP 2016-2020 will serve as a key reference document for development partners in developing their own programmes to support education development of the Lao government to create opportunities for all Lao citizens to have equitable access to quality education.
