The Vientiane Library Project

Let's READ VIENTIANE! :)

DID YOU KNOW THAT:

"The intensity of reading in Lao is much lower than in comparable countries in the region, and elsewhere, but with similar patterns among gender and age groups. Nearly three-fourths of respondents fall into the low intensity of reading bracket. Even at the highest educational levels, reading intensity is still much lower in Lao than in other countries—only six percent of
university graduates and four percent of current university students had high levels of reading intensity, compared to 62 percent and 72 percent, respectively, in Vietnam."
