Eduten Ltd., the provider of a globally recognized digital learning platform, the Eduten platform, is excited to announce the launch of a new 12-week research project in Laos, in collaboration with local educational authorities. This initiative is aimed at enhancing mathematics education and mirrors the successful models previously implemented in Bhutan and Mongolia.

The project will involve 500 students in the treatment group using the Eduten platform, while a control group of 300 students will continue with traditional learning methods. Ten schools across Laos are participating, each represented by a teacher who has undergone a comprehensive 3-day training program conducted by Eduten in Thalat.

The Eduten platform, renowned for its extensive library of over 200,000 pedagogically robust tasks, has been recognized globally for its effectiveness in improving learning outcomes and teacher well-being. This project in Laos aims to replicate the success seen in similar collaborations, such as the recent initiatives in Bhutan and Mongolia

During the 12-week pilot, the efficacy of the Eduten platform in enhancing student engagement and mathematics skills will be closely monitored and compared with the traditional teaching methods employed in the control group. This approach will provide valuable insights into the impact of digital learning platforms in diverse educational settings.

"We are enthusiastic about bringing Eduten to Laos’ unique educational landscape. We are confident that our previous experiences in Mongolia, Bhutan, and Uzbekistan will contribute to the success of this project."
