Education in Cambodia
The whole educational system continues to suffer from the Khmer Rouge years and the periods of instability which ensued, with a lack of qualified teachers, obsolete teaching methods, insufficient or deteriorating infrastructures, and limited access to schooling due to extreme poverty.

Since 2000 Cambodia's economy has grown at an average rate of 9.5 percent, driven largely by an expansion in the garment sector and tourism. Despite pressure on US led exports in the wake of the sub-prime crisis and ensuing slowdown, coupled with the negative impact of higher energy and commodity prices, the IMF is forecasting that economic growth will remain at about seven percent at least until the end of 2009.

Vast new building projects have increased over the past few years, including a great number of satellite cities worth billions of dollars that when completed will fundamentally alter the appearance of the capital. After years of disorder within Cambodia, the country is now turning things around as a growing economy posting a steady 11 per cent growth over the last three years, fuelled by a strong tourism industry and clothing manufacture.
