Cambodia is rebuilding its educational system from the ground up after years of upheaval. To aid in this effort, Room to Read Cambodia has led in the field of literacy and girls’ education and works as one of the national government’s primary partners improving Cambodia’s quality of education.
Cambodia
Room to Read launched its work in Cambodia in 2002 to help improve access to quality education and has since established a strong presence in the country as a trusted partner to the government’s Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport (MoEYS). To date, MoEYS has adopted several of Room to Read’s approaches into national curricula and policies, including Room to Read’s school library model, as well as components of Room to Read’s life skills curriculum for grades 7–9, benefiting students nationwide.
