"This edited book is a timely and significant contribution for both academics and policymakers working for educational improvement not only in Cambodia but in post-conflict contexts generally. It addresses a range of important issues and reforms, challenges, and alternatives from primary to higher education based on theoretical, empirical, and contextual evidence. The editors are to be commended for producing a text that will be a vital reference for years to come for all those with an interest in Cambodian education." - Chet Chealy, Rector, Royal University of Phnom Penh, Cambodia
In the most in-depth look at education in Cambodia to date, scholars long engaged in research on Cambodia provide historical context and unpack key issues of high relevance to Cambodia and other developing countries as they expand and modernize their education systems and grapple with challenges to providing a quality and equitable education.
