Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs (Dutch,lit. 'more advanced primary education') was during part of the twentieth century a level of education in the Netherlands, Suriname and theDutch East Indies.[1][2] The system was comparable with thejunior high school level in the US education system. Its successors were the mavo and vbo, now both replaced byVMBO.
In Suriname, MULO was a four year program. It was split into MULO-A which was focused on business and MULO-B which was focused on science. After graduating, students could move onto three-yearVWO leading to university or a two-yearHAVO leading to higher vocational training.[3] In 2021, it was replaced with "voortgezet onderwijs"[4] inSuriname.
