Education Sector Development Program (2001)
Cambodia
The Indigenous People's Development
Plan (IPDP) incorporates specific measures to ensure access of ethnic minorities to basic education in the four northeastern provinces. The specific measures include:
- to provide direct student support mechanisms for selected
ethnic minorities, enabling them the completion of primary and
secondary education
- to provide incentives to teachers serving under difficult
circumstances such as those assigned in remote ethnic minority
communities. The incentives scheme aims to improve the teacher's
performance
- to eliminate start-of-year fees, thereby reducing the cost
of schooling, which will be beneficial to ethnic minority families,
whose incomes tend to be lower than that of the mainstream Khmer
families
- to improve the staffing guidelines and redeployment incentives
to increase the number of teachers in remote areas
- to include the recruitment of ethnic minority teachers in
staff recruitment guidelines
- to prioritize the provision of school facilities in ethnic
minority areas
- implement an information, education, communication (IEC) program
to inform ethnic minority communities about the new education
policies, and agency roles, authority, and responsibilities
Ethnic minorities affected:
Marginalized ethnic minorities of the four northeastern provinces
