Multilingual Education for Ethnic Minorities in Cambodia

Overview & Synopsis

For almost two decades, there has been slow but consistent progress made in providing support for access to education for ethnic minority children living in the north-east region of Cambodia. A sustainable model of multilingual education was successfully developed by CARE Cambodia in these provinces. Responsibility for implementing the model has now been largely transferred to the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS). The model's success will ensure that future generations of ethnic minority children in the region have access to and can succeed in school.
