Stats on monastic schools in Laos (new, 2006)

Painstakingly typed out by yours truly, and direct from a dept of
education report.

These are tab-separated values, so they will be easier to read in a
fixed-width font such as "Courier"

You will note that, overall, roughly 35% of all Lao students are
currently being educated in the monastic system --i.e., not 35% of
male students, but 35% of all enrolled students, regardless of gender.
