Cambodia

Cambodia has a population of just over 12 million with around 3.3 million students. The net enrolment rate for children aged 6-12 is 92% and for 13-17 year olds it is 13%. There are 6500 schools with approximately 90,000 teachers, 38% of them female.

Issues facing the education sector include restoring infrastructure, achieving equity across various provinces, and dealing with natural disasters such as floods.

Cambodia has invested heavily in education and has a strategic plan in place running to 2005. It has an "education for all' vision and receives extensive foreign aid to assist it to achieve that goal.
