 The main purpose of this study is to review the new issues and factors for education focusing on ethnic minorities in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), which has come up after over 15 years of effort on its Education Development under Education For All (EFA) and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to give a view for practice of Education Development activities for post-2015 in the Lao PDR.<br>  The Lao PDR made a great achievement in education sector under the EFA movement and MDGs, whose goals were to be met by 2015. The country, however, failed to achieve most of these goals, and on the top of that, its ethnic minorities, who occupy over 37 percent of Lao population, still face a lot of difficulties in access and quality of formal education.<br>  Nevertheless, there are few papers or studies about educational situation of Lao ethnic minorities. Even though Inui Miki published a study examining that issue in 2004, the data used in her study comes from before the year 2000, which might make it difficult to capture the present condition of Education Development in Lao PDR.<br>  After Lao PDR started the practical movement of the earnest Education Development, this developing country showed such a progress and situational change in education sector from 2000 to 2015. Since then, it is necessary to re-consider the substance of education for ethnic minorities in Lao PDR using latest statistics and papers.<br>  This study clarified three points.<br>  First, educational problems are shifting for ethnic minorities in Lao PDR. As the previous study by Inui (2004), it used to be said that the main educational issues for ethnic minorities in the Lao PDR were curriculum and teaching language. However, thanks to educational developments over the past 15 years, there is little relation between those inschool problems and the ethnical disparity in access for education, which suggests the main difficulties that ethnic minorities are facing in access to school education have been addressed out-of-school.<br>  Second, instead of the in-school issue, the inequities which are outside of school surrounding the ethnic minorities, such as economics, social infrastructure, and customs of each community, can be the obstacles to their formal education.<br>  In the conclusion of this study, it is suggested that a sector-wide approach is essential to solve the educational inequities which the ethnic minorities are facing, since those factors are distributed across various aspects in Laotian society in complex ways.
