A new evidence report from UNICEF has prompted Lao PDR’s Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) to examine the feasibility of scaling Finland’s Eduten maths platform beyond its recent 12-week pilot.
Key results
- +35.7 percentage-point jump in overall maths proficiency and +51.4 points in arithmetic fluency for Grade 3 pupils who swapped one weekly lesson for Eduten.
- 384 learners, 10 primary schools and one teacher-training college took part, working with 779 curriculum-aligned, Lao-language exercises.
- Students reported higher motivation, while teachers praised real-time analytics that pinpoint struggling learners.
"Lao teachers turned data into rocket fuel. We’re ready to support MoES as it weighs next steps, from infrastructure to local content.”
MoES is reviewing pilot findings, hardware requirements and teacher-training needs before deciding whether to adopt Eduten as a remedial tool nationwide. The study in Laos is part of a broader series of evaluations by UNICEF’s Global Learning Innovation Hub, which also reviewed Eduten’s impact in Bhutan and Uzbekistan, highlighting consistent gains in learning outcomes across diverse education systems.
