Compulsory Education in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam

Published in 1955 and very informative about primary education in colonial era. The annual number of primary schools and attended pupils from 1915 to 1952 was just precious. Though as a Lao, I was very disappointed to see that there were much fewer schools and students in Laos compared to Cambodia and Vietnam.
