Education in Kingdom of cambodia is controlled by the state through the Ministry of Teaching in a national level and by the Section of Educational activity at the provincial level. The Cambodian didactics organisation includes pre-school, chief, secondary education, higher instruction and non-formal educational activity.^[three] The education arrangement includes the development of sport, it education, research development and technical education.^[3] Schoolhouse enrollment has increased during the 2000s in Cambodia. USAID data shows that in 2011 principal enrollment reached 96% of the child population, lower secondary school 34% and upper secondary 21%.^[iv]

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI)^[5] finds that Cambodia is fulfilling only 68.2% of what it should exist fulfilling for the right to educational activity based on the country's level of income.^[6] HRMI breaks downward the right to education by looking at the rights to both master education and secondary teaching. While taking into consideration Cambodia's income level, the nation is achieving 86.two% of what should be possible based on its resources (income) for principal pedagogy but only 50.one% for secondary education.^[7]

Teaching in the constitution [edit]

The Constitution of Cambodia establishes that the state shall protect and upgrade citizen'south rights to quality education at all levels, guaranteeing that all citizens take equal opportunity to earn a living (Article 66).^[8] The state shall adopt an education program "according to the principle of modern pedagogy including technology and foreign languages," as well equally the states controls public and individual schools and classrooms at all levels (Article 67).^[8]

History [edit]

Traditional Buddhist educational activity [edit]

Before the 20th century, traditional teaching in Cambodia was handled by the local wat, and the monks and priests ("bhikku") were the teachers. The students were almost entirely boys, and the teaching was express to memorizing Buddhist chants in Pali.

During the catamenia of the French protectorate, an educational system based on the French model was inaugurated alongside the traditional system. Initially, the French neglected educational activity in Cambodia. Just seven high school students graduated in 1931, and only 50,000 to 600,000 children were enrolled in primary schoolhouse in 1936. In the year immediately post-obit independence, the number of students rapidly increased. Vickery^{[ who? ]} suggests that pedagogy of any kind was considered an "absolute practiced" by all Cambodians and that this attitude eventually created a large group of unemployed or underemployed graduates past the late 1960s.^[9]

The French model [edit]

From the early 20th century until 1975, the system of mass didactics operated on the French model. The education system was divided into primary, secondary, higher, and specialized levels. Public instruction was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Teaching, which exercised total control over the organization. It established syllabi, hired and paid teachers, provided supplies, and inspected schools. An inspector of master education, who had considerable authority, was assigned to each province. Cultural committees under the Ministry of Education were responsible for "enriching the Cambodian language."^[9]

Primary education, divided into 2 cycles of 3 years each, was carried out in state- and temple-run schools. Successful completion of a terminal state exam led to the accolade of a certificate after each cycle. The principal teaching curriculum consisted of arithmetics, history, ideals, civics, drafting, geography, hygiene, language, and science. In addition, the curriculum included concrete education and manual work.^[9]

French language teaching began in the second yr. Central khmer was the language of instruction in the first bike, but French was used in the second cycle and thereafter. Past the early 1960s, Khmer was used more widely in chief education. In the 1980s, the chief schoolhouse ran from the start to the fourth grade. Theoretically, 1 principal school served each hamlet.^[9]

Secondary education also was divided into ii cycles: one of 4 years teaching at a college, followed by one of three years taught at a lyceum. Upon completion of the first cycle, students could take a country examination. Successful candidates received a secondary diploma. Upon completion of the beginning two years of the second wheel, students could take a state examination for the showtime baccalaureate, and, post-obit their last year, they could take a similar test for the second baccalaureate.^[9]

The Cambodian secondary curriculum was like to that plant in French republic. Beginning in 1967, the final iii years of secondary school were dissever into iii sections according to major subjects — letters, mathematics and engineering science; agriculture; and biology. In the late 1940s and the early 1990s, the country emphasized technical education. In the PERK (People's Commonwealth of Kampuchea), secondary pedagogy was reduced to six years.^[9]

Higher education lagged well behind primary and secondary instruction until the belatedly 1950s. The just facility in Cambodia for higher education before the 1960s was the National Institute of Legal, Political, and Economic Studies, which trained civil servants. In the late 1950s it had about 250 students. Wealthy Cambodians and those who had regime scholarships sought university-level education away. Students attended schools in France, but afterwards independence, increasing numbers enrolled at universities in the United States, Canada, Cathay, the Soviet Union, and the German Democratic Commonwealth (East Germany).

By 1970 universities with a total enrollment of near ix,000 students served Kingdom of cambodia. The largest, the University of Phnom Penh, had nearly 4,570 male and more than than 730 female students in viii departments— letters and humanities, scientific discipline and technology, law and economics, medicine, pharmacy, commercial science, instructor grooming, and higher teacher training. Universities operated in the provinces of Kampong Cham, Takeo, Battambang. In Phnom Penh, the University of Agricultural Sciences and the Academy of Fine Arts offered training. The increased fighting following the 1970 coup airtight the three provincial universities.^[9]

Devastation of the education organisation by the Central khmer Rouge [edit]

During the Khmer Rouge regime, educational activity was dealt a severe setback, and the cracking strides made in literacy and in education during the 2 decades post-obit independence were obliterated systematically. Schools were closed. Educated people and teachers were subjected to, at the to the lowest degree, suspicion and harsh treatment and at the worst, execution. At the start of the 1970s, more than 20,000 teachers lived in Cambodia. Only about 5,000 of the teachers remained 10 years later.^[ix]

Soviet sources report that 90 pct of teachers were killed nether the Khmer Rouge regime. Merely l of the 725 university instructors, 207 of the two,300 secondary school teachers, and 2,717 of the 21,311 primary school teachers survived. The meagre educational fare was centred on precepts of the Khmer revolution; immature people were rigidly indoctrinated, merely literacy was neglected. An unabridged generation of Cambodian children grew upwards illiterate.^[ix]

After the Khmer Rouge were driven from power, the education system had to be re-created from almost nil. Illiteracy had climbed to more xl pct, and virtually young people under the historic period of fourteen lacked any basic education.^[ix]

Development of the current system [edit]

Education began making a slow comeback, following the establishment of the People'due south Democracy of Kampuchea. In 1986 the following main institutions of higher educational activity were reported in the PRK:

• the Faculty of Medicine and Chemist's (reopened in 1980 with a half-dozen-year course of study)
• the Armchair Dang Faculty of Agriculture (opened in 1985)
• the Kampuchea-USSR Friendship Technical Plant (at present Constitute of Technology of Cambodia (TIC)) (which includes technical and engineering curricula)
• the Establish of Languages (Vietnamese, German language, Russian, and Spanish are taught)
• the Establish of Commerce, the Center for Pedagogical Education (formed in 1979)
• the Normal Advanced School
• the School of Fine Arts.

Writing nigh the educational activity organisation nether the PRK, Trickery states, "Both the authorities and the people have demonstrated enthusiasm for didactics ... The list of subjects covered is little different from that of prewar years. There is perchance more time devoted to Khmer language and literature than earlier the war and, until the 1984-85 school year, at least, no foreign language teaching". He notes that the secondary school syllabus calls for four hours of strange language education per calendar week in Russian, German, or Vietnamese just that at that place were no teachers available.^[nine]

Martin describes the education system in the PRK as based very closely on the Vietnamese model, pointing out that even the terms for primary and secondary instruction have been inverse into direct translations of the Vietnamese terms. Under the PRK regime, co-ordinate to Martin, the primary cycle had iv instead of six classes, the first level of secondary education had three instead of iv classes, and the second level of secondary didactics had three classes. Martin writes that not every young person could go to school because schooling in towns and in the countryside required enrolment fees.^[9]

Ceremonious servants paid (in 1987) 25 track per calendar month to ship a child to school, and others paid up to 150 rails per calendar month. According to Martin, "Access to tertiary studies [was] reserved for children whose parents work[ed] for the authorities and [had] demonstrated proof of their loyalty to the regime." She writes that, from the chief level on, the contents of all textbooks except for alphabet books were politically oriented and dealt "more specifically with Vietnam." From the beginning of the secondary cycle, Vietnamese language study was compulsory.^[nine]

Buddhist education [edit]

Before the French organized a Western-style education system, the Buddhist wat, with monks as teachers, provided the only formal educational activity in Cambodia. The monks traditionally regarded their main education office as the teaching of Buddhist doctrine and history and the importance of gaining merit. Other subjects were regarded as secondary. In this way schoolboys — girls were not allowed to study in these institutions — were taught to read and to write Khmer, and they were instructed in the rudiments of Buddhism.^[9]

In 1933 a secondary school system for novice monks was created in the Buddhist religious system. Many wat schools had then-chosen Pauli schools that provided three years of elementary teaching from which the student could compete for entrance into the Buddhist lyceums. Graduates of these lyceums could sit for the entrance test to the Buddhist University in Phnom Pen. The curriculum of the Buddhist schools consisted of the study of Cali, Buddhist doctrine, and Khmer, forth with mathematics, Cambodian history and geography, science, hygiene, civics, and agriculture. Buddhist instruction was nether the authority of the Ministry of Faith.^[9]

Almost 600 Buddhist chief schools, with an enrolment of more than than 10,000 novices and with 800 monks as instructors, existed in 1962. The Preach Samaritan Buddhist Lyceum —a four-year institution in Phnom Penh founded in 1955— included courses in Tali, in Sanskrit, and in Khmer, every bit well equally in many modern disciplines. In 1962 the student torso numbered 680. The schoolhouse'south graduates could proceed their studies in the Preach Sihanouk Haj Buddhist University created in 1959.^[9]

The academy offered iii cycles of instruction; the doctoral degree was awarded afterward successful completion of the third cycle. In 1962 in that location were 107 students enrolled in the Buddhist University. Past the 1969-70 academic twelvemonth, more than 27,000 students were attending Buddhist religious elementary schools, one,328 students were at Buddhist lyceums, and 176 students were enrolled at the Buddhist Academy.^[nine]

The Buddhist Institute was a research establishment formed in 1930 from the Royal Library. The institute contained a library, record and photo collections, and a museum. Several commissions were part of the plant. A folklore commission published collections of Cambodian folktales, a Tripitaka Commission completed a translation of the Buddhist canon into Khmer, and a dictionary commission produced a definitive two-book lexicon of Central khmer.^[nine]

Private education [edit]

For a portion of the urban population in Cambodia, private education was important in the years earlier the communist takeover. Some private schools were operated by ethnic or religious minorities —Chinese, Vietnamese, European, Roman Cosmic, and Muslim— so that children could study their own language, civilization, or religion. Other schools provided education to ethnic children who could not gain admission to a public school. Attendance at some of the individual schools, specially those in Phantom Pena, conferred a sure amount of prestige on the student and on the pupil'southward family.^[9]

The private instruction system included Chinese-linguistic communication schools, Vietnamese-language (frequently Roman Cosmic) schools, French-linguistic communication schools, English-linguistic communication schools, and Khmer-linguistic communication schools. Enrolment in private primary schools rose from 32,000 in the early 1960s to nigh 53,500 in 1970, although enrolment in private secondary schools dropped from about 19,000 to fewer than viii,700 for the same catamenia. In 1962 there were 195 Chinese schools, xl Khmer schools, xv Vietnamese schools, and 14 French schools operating in Cambodia. Private secondary didactics was represented past several Loftier Schools, notably the Lyceum Descartes in Phenom Pen.^[9]

All of Vietnamese schools in Phnom Penh and some of Chinese schools were closed by the government decree in 1970.^[9]

There has been a re-emergence of private schools in Phantom Pena. Organisations from Turkey and the U.S. operate private schools and charities. Mazama International operates 2 simple and high schools, and A New Mean solar day Cambodia pays for the housing and didactics of 100 students of unlike ages.

Several non-governmental organisations dedicated to teaching provide this service oriented to unprivileged communities in rural areas, street children, children infected by HIV, handicapped children and youth and other groups. Some organisations specialised in technical education offered to immature people afterwards high schoolhouse completion and as an alternative to university. In 2012 Don Bosch Cambodia engaged 1,463 students to technical programs in provinces,^[x] but there are public and private technical schools like the National Technical Training Found, the Phenom Pen Poly Technical School and many others.

Early childhood intendance and instruction (EKE) [edit]

Cambodia has a population of about 14 million, with around i.v meg children below 5 years.^[xi] In 2007, when the UNICEF study was conducted, information technology had an under-v mortality of 91 and a high charge per unit (37 percent) of stunting.^[12]

By 2010, the nether-five mortality rate had decreased to 58, but at that place still is a high rate of moderate to severe stunting (twoscore percent in 2006-2010) in Cambodia.^[eleven] In 2005-2006, the enrolment rate in EKE for 3-5-year-old in Cambodia was about 12 percent overall.^[13] For 5- to vi-year-former, it was 27.27 percentage. In country pre-schools 21.23 percent; individual pre-schools ane.43 per centum; community pre-schools 3.96 percent and home-based programmed 0.84 percent.^[13]

More contempo figures signal that in 2009-2010, the mental rate of 3- to 5-year-golds was 20 percent and that it was 38 percent for five-year-old.^[14] The Cambodian government would like to give priority for ECCE to children from poor and remote backgrounds, but it does non take the funds to increase land pre-school provision or increment the national upkeep for ECCE.^[15]

There are three principal types of pre-school programs in Cambodia: state pre-schools, community pre-schools, and dwelling-based programs. Country pre-school teachers accept the highest academic and professional person qualifications, having completed a two-year total-fourth dimension teacher-training course after Grade 12, and receive a government salary. State pre-schools cost more than than other programs. They operate a 3-hour plan, five days a week during the 38-week school year. Instruction is provided in a proper classroom with a roof, posters with curriculum-related materials are displayed on the walls, and toilets and running h2o are available. Children have access to paper, pencils, books, and toys.^{[16] [17] [18] [fifteen]}

In community pre-schools, educational experiences for 3 to 5-yr-olds are provided by a member of the village who has typically received x days of initial training and who participates in refresher preparation courses for three to vi days a twelvemonth. The program operates for 2 hours a day, 5 days a calendar week, for 24 to 36 weeks a yr. Customs pre-school teachers receive a stipend each month for their work, and this is expected to be met by the hamlet. Near classes are held nether teachers' houses and at that place are health and prophylactic issues when this is the case. Further, parents tend to send all their children, including those less than 3 years of age, to the community pre-school, making the job of the teachers very difficult.^{[18] [17] [16] [15]}

Home-based programs are offered through mothers' groups formed in villages. Again, the regime expects each village to provide funding and resources through the local commune council. The groups are facilitated by a 'core' mother in the village who has generally received a two-day training class in the utilise of the program materials. Typically, the groups meet early on in the morning earlier women get to piece of work in the fields. Dwelling house-based program materials include advice on diet, full general well-being and developmental stages.^{[18] [17] [16] [15]}

Electric current challenges [edit]

Resources [edit]

In the first decade of the 21st century, Cambodia allocated around 9% of its annual budget into education to improve its quality. However, 83% of the funds are allocated to servicing remunerations and functioning expenses, which might suggest hire seeking in the process. That leaves little funds for schools' facilities maintenance and to provide proper teaching materials similar computers and internet.^[19]

Cambodia's public expenditure on education deemed for 2.6% of GDP in 2010, up from 1.vi% of GDP in 2007. The share allocated to college education remains minor (0.38% of Gdp, or fifteen% of the total). Only Myanmar (0.15% of GDP in 2011) and the Philippines (0.32% of GDP in 2009) devote less to college education in Southeast Asia. Moreover, Cambodia still ranks lowest in Southeast Asia for the education dimension of the Earth Depository financial institution's Knowledge-Economic system Index.^[twenty]

At that place is insufficient staff in schools, with 58,776 teachers teaching 2,311,107 primary school students and just 27,240 teachers teaching 637,629 lower secondary students. The teacher-pupil ratio is thus very loftier and might result in inefficiency. In addition, over 60% of the primary and secondary school teachers received at most secondary education, which thus compromises the quality of didactics.^[21]

A severe scarcity of schools and classrooms, particularly in the rural areas, limit the number of children who have access to education. Most Cambodian villages have a primary school, merely they are non complete and do non offer a total one-6 grade curriculum. Cambodian children face greater difficulty in the pursuit of a higher level of education,^[22] because secondary schools are in less than ten% of the villages. Only 5.4% of Cambodian villages have a lower secondary school and only 2% of them have an upper secondary school.^[23]

Students can only pursue higher education if they can afford the fees. Therefore, further education becomes inaccessible to the majority of potential pupils. The pct of population in each group attention an educational institution is shown in Table i, indicating that merely approximately 14.37% of the population tin afford to pursue tertiary education:^[24]

Table 1

<6	6-xiv	15-nineteen	20-24	25+
28.91%	80.19%	51.83%	14.37%	one.xx%

Policy implementation [edit]

Provincial/Municipal Offices of Pedagogy (POE) are responsible for supporting the Ministry in implementing educational policies, preparing and submitting plans for further development of educational activity, providing data and statistics of schools.^[25] Nevertheless, there is a lack of congruence betwixt research and policy, linked possibly to the inadequacy of upkeep and inquiry facilities, that exemplifies the weakness in analytical enquiry and development for its education organisation.^[25] As a issue, at that place is a meaning gap between policy formation, implementation and monitoring in the educational activity system that does not target the specific problems that the educators and children face.

Gender disparity [edit]

Although the literacy rate and the number of girls graduating from main school in Cambodia are increasing, the number of girls who drop out from secondary instruction is much higher than the number of boys. In 2008, the ratio of girls to boys in upper secondary is 75% and only 50% in third educational activity.^{[26] [27]} This disparity can be partly attributed to the college opportunity price of sending girls to school equally at that place volition be one less helping hand to earn an actress income. The trade-off between school participation and economic activity increases as the child gets older and this trend is particularly prevalent among girls.^[28] In 2008, 23% of young women were illiterate compared to xvi% of men.^[26]

Low participation [edit]

In 2007, while around 90 per centum of children completed chief instruction, only 35 percentage completed lower-secondary didactics and only xv percent progressed to upper-secondary education and across. This left around 3.one million youngsters, or 85 percent of 15–24-year-olds, non receiving any advanced schooling. The situation is even worse when it comes to technical and vocational training, where the number of enrolled students aged betwixt 14 and 20 barely accounts for 2 per centum of this population segment.^[29]

This results in a very loftier per centum of the Cambodian labour force lacking any formal trade qualifications. The vast majority of university students come from wealthy families living in the cities, whereas the majority of basic-level technicians come from low-income families.^[29]

Dropout rates [edit]

Statistically, from 2005 to 2009, primary school enrolment rates for males and females were at ninety and 87 percentage respectively^[30] while the attendance levels are at 84 and 86 percentage of the students heading to school. This suggests that not all the children in Cambodia are able to consistently attend the schoolhouse'south curriculum due to perhaps financial reasons, wellness care issues and fifty-fifty transportation costs.^[30]

There are disparities between the perceived data to that of the official administrative data rendering the main school graduation rates. By survey, 92 percent of the children should have completed main pedagogy until the last class. Formal school'south authoritative information suggests that but a mere 43 percent take completed primary educational activity.^[30] The disparity in the data arises due to the ways whereby a kid tin can receive pedagogy in Cambodia, formal, non-formal and informal.^[25]

Lack of awareness [edit]

It was established at the World Tiptop in Johannesburg that education plays a pivotal part in achieving a nation's sustainable evolution.^[25] The lack of awareness of the demand for education for sustainable development (ERS) is significantly credible in Cambodia amid the financial poverty information technology faces. The priority for the nation's children is mainly every bit a correspondent to the family's finances and non the establishment of their education.

Third education [edit]

In 2011, Cambodia has tertiary enrollment charge per unit of 10%,^[31] which is low when compared with other nations.^[32]

Cambodia's higher education lacks world recognition and is not acknowledged by QS World University Rankings.

Furthermore, there is inadequate communication between schools and corporations. This thus hinders the necessary adjustment of the curriculum to equip the students with skills to come across the demand of the labour market. Graduates detect difficulty integrating into the workforce.^[33]

Higher education institutions are mainly in major cities. Hence, students have to bear the cost of transport and living expenses in addition to their school fees. Furthermore, those who manage to find alternative places to live are facing the risk of being drawn into an increasingly rampant drug culture or being coerced into prostitution.^[34]

Rankings past the World Economic Forum (compiled 2013-2014 but using available data) place Cambodia 116th out of 148 nations, behind Thailand (66th), Vietnam (95th) and neighbouring Laos (111th).^[35]

Poverty hindering education [edit]

Given that the poverty line in the rural areas of Cambodia is set at United states of america$0.25 per person per daily consumption, 53.7% of the population in Siem Reap is living below the poverty line.^[36] Due to poverty, children in Kingdom of cambodia are forced to give up education to work and supplement the family's income; see Child labour in Cambodia. The price of sending their children to schoolhouse is very high in some families, making it almost impossible for the children to receive education.^[23]

Close to twenty% of Cambodian children ages five–9 are employed. The figures and so rise to 47% for children between ages 10–14 and 34% for ages 15–17. Amid the number of working children of ages 5 to 17, only 45% have the hazard to attend school.^[23]

Not-economic productive activities such as housework tend to start earlier than economic activities, although less intensively, causing children in Cambodia to be performing 'double-duty' — they are involved in housework and economical activity, leaving them niggling or no time to get to schoolhouse. Not-economic activities add an average of eight hours per week to the work burden of the economically active children, leading to an average weekly working hours of nigh 31. Children having to work before going to school tin can affect their literacy and numeracy test scores, by 9 percentage points afterward accounting for the differences in school quality.^[28] This shows that work affects school enrolment and power of children to derive educational benefit from schooling.

A 2007 written report by the Cambodian NGO Education Partnership (NEP)^[37] suggested that education costs for each child averaged $108 annually — nine percent of the average annual income of each family. Clearly, in a nation where having four or five children is very common, the education costs become very significant.

The NEP study found that these fees were the main reason given for children not attention school and that a quarter of parents were unaware that their children had a correct to free instruction.

Teachers [edit]

Teachers in Cambodia earn US$120 to U.s.$150 a month.^[23] They resort to collecting informal schoolhouse fees of $0.02 to $0.05 per day from students to supplement their salaries. This is for teachers in the city only, and it is spreading to some of the provincial ones. This farther deters children from attending schools as they cannot beget to pay for the informal school fees. With an average of three children per household in Kingdom of cambodia, the informal school fees will add upwardly to a meaning amount, making information technology almost impossible for parents to send their children to school. Though there are efforts past the Cambodia regime to promise free provision of education, the collection of informal school fees is a huge deterrence for children to attend school.

Due to the shortage of teachers in Cambodia, teachers employed frequently lack proper training and take a loftier educatee-teacher ratio. This has led to poor quality of education and loftier course-repeat rates amongst students. From the data, in Siem Reap province, 12% of primary school students failed to be promoted to the next form level at the end of the 2006-07 schoolhouse twelvemonth.^[23] Virtually teachers in Cambodia, especially those in the more remote areas, had not completed their secondary pedagogy. With a fast-growing youth population, if teachers are required to possess a sure minimum qualification, the problem of teacher shortage will be more severe.

Lack of resources [edit]

Due to a lack of resources and minimum government funding for schools, at that place is a shortage of teaching material and school facilities. According to UNESCO, simply 1.6% of Cambodia's GDP (gross domestic production) is spent on education.^[24] Even though the Cambodian regime promises to provide $ane.50-$one.75 per student per year to each master school for teaching materials and operating costs, the sum is often insufficient to cover the basic operational cost of the schools. Teachers often accept to utilise their ain money to purchase items like chalk.^[23]

Corruption in education [edit]

Due to corruption in most parts of Cambodia's institutions, the education institution is not spared. Although there is an increasing awareness of the importance of education which directly correlates with employability, citizens are but attention schools for the sake of obtaining newspaper qualifications. In that location is no groovy impetus to learn and to increase one's productivity. The quality of education in Cambodia remains doubtful and non all citizens are capable of undertaking tasks that their paper qualifications state they are capable of.

Laissez passer rates at schools are not comparable due to blackmail and the skewed level of difficulty of tests handed out in schools. On top of this, the Ministry of Education has to decrease the average passing scores to increase the pass rates of students, or the unemployment charge per unit in the state volition be college than reported.^[38]

Relation with the evolution of nation [edit]

The depression 40% enrolment rate at secondary level and 5% at tertiary level has caused the majority of the Cambodian population not being able to antipodal in English language, which is the common linguistic communication used in the commercial industries.^[39]

Bill Hayden, Australian'south foreign minister said in 1983 that "the but way for Australia to help Cambodia in the reconstruction is to help them to learn English", and so that they can asking aid, access modernistic technology and the commercial world, as well as share knowledge to help Kingdom of cambodia develop.^[40] Failing to educate women tin can besides lead to an economic cost of United states of america$92 billion worldwide each year, thus suggesting that educating more than women in Cambodia would lead to more economic gains.^[41]

New Education Minister Reforms the System [edit]

August 2014 was the when Cambodian'south grade 12 students took their final high school test to go into universities. However, 2014 was the year that the new minister, Hang Chuon Naron, eliminated corruption and cheating during the test. Students could not bring cell phones or calculators into the rooms. Teachers did non have the chance to tell students the answers to the exam questions. The government employed monitors to spotter the test-takers carefully. Therefore, merely 26% of all students in course 12 passed the test.^[42]

The function of NGOs [edit]

There is a significant presence in Cambodia of schools congenital and continuously funded by overseas supporters, and of education-back up NGOs that help with training, resources and funding. The role of these NGOs is meaning to the extent that the Minister of MOEYS is on public record^[43] as proverb that the input of these NGOs is an integral part of the education strategy and that without the NGOs the authorities would be unable to achieve its instruction targets.

The relationship between MOEYS and the NGO sector is integral to the 2010 Teaching Strategic Plan which stated as an objective:

Aggrandize public/NGO/ customs partnerships in formal and non-formal education in border, remote and disadvantaged areas as well every bit increase support for the provision of local life skills and vocational training and bones/required professional person skills responsive to the needs of the social and labour market.^[44]

In 2012 and 2013 the MOEYS rolled out a registration process designed to integrate NGOs into the overall teaching framework and to ensure NGOs meet standards in teaching quality, physical environment and governance. Registration provides a means for some government leverage or control over this sector, as well a clearer means of gathering relevant statistical data.

The role of educational activity-related NGOs is likely to get more closely entwined with MOEYS over time.
