This book is the most comprehensive account yet published about the education system in Cambodia. It covers all system levels and draws upon the knowledge and insights of a wide range of leading Cambodian and foreign scholars. To this end, the system must rid itself of conservatism, complacency and manipulation by parochial vested interests.

“Education in Cambodia with its clearly presented tables, graphs and charts has been meticulously edited; and the layout and sub-section headings facilitate easy reading and subject searching. … Education in Cambodia - From Year Zero Towards International Standards is commended to this readership as a unique compilation. It also represents a challenge for further research and publication, especially by Cambodian nationals.” (David Sloper, Journal of International and Comparative Education, Vol. 12 (2), 2023)
