WASHINGTON DC – A new study finds that education quality in Cambodia has been hampered by poor textbooks, poorly distributed.
A study by the Khmer Institute for National Development and the Affiliated Network for Social Accountability in East Asia and the Pacific found books with poor spelling and content, sometimes not even making it into the hands of students before the school year was finished.
“This does not bring quality or comprehensive learning for students,” said San Chey, country representative for ANSA-EAP. “It’s a common concern from students that the shortage of textbooks can result in their poor performance.”
