Are you a higher education student in Laos?

Check how REAL project can be relevant for you and how you can get involved

REAL project will be actively engaging Lao students into the Higher Education (HE) reform process aimed at making HE in Laos more relevant and attractive, HE programmes better designed and balanced in terms of student workload, and HE teaching more effective.

As a HE student in Lao PDR, you are invited to take part in REAL Consultations and REAL Dissemination Events to make sure that your voice is taken into account and the final results really meet the student needs.
