Among the various Lao educational sectors, secondary education is the fastest growing sector. Despite this rapid growth, still only 8.5 percent of Lao youth are completing lower secondary and only 4.8 percent are completing upper secondary. As with primary education, there are considerable disparities across regions of the country.

The basic curriculum of Lao secondary education includes the social sciences, chemistry, physics, biology, the Lao language, and foreign languages. Courses in art, physical education, and technology are also part of the curriculum.
