The Digital Literacy Initiative project was officially launched early April at the Crowne Plaza Vientiane, marking the beginning of its implementation in Laos. The event featured a panel discussion titled “Current Situation of Future Outlook of ICT in the Education Sector in Laos,” which emphasized the project’s goals and importance to the country’s digital landscape.
The project is funded by the Dariu Foundation and Bread for the World and implemented in partnership with Swisscontact and the Lao Ministry of Education and Sports.
Its primary goal is to equip young people with essential digital skills for the emerging digital economy. This will be achieved through basic coding and programming classes, coding clubs, and digital entrepreneurship courses in high schools and technical and vocational colleges.
