Laos Education has gone through a number of stages, from being the weakest sector to the improvements seen in recent times. The Buddhist way of teaching was the first form of education in Laos.
Laos has a rustic appeal to many travellers who enjoy getting away from the sealed and packaged amenities of the West.
Despite the Communist takeover in the mid-1970s, Laos remains a Buddhist country in everything but name. Patriotic holidays are still celebrated in this landlocked country, but only on Buddhist holidays do the Lao people let their hair down and celebrate.
