Positive early results for Cambodia ‘back to school’ push
Some 14,000 school drop-outs have returned to class under a $19 million scheme launched last year by a coalition of education groups, the organisations said on 30 September.
Out-of-school kids include children from poor and remote communities, ethnic minorities, kids over-age for their grade level, street children and those with disabilities.
Of the children enrolled by the program in the first year, 6,732 are girls and 7,851 are boys. The number of enrolments in the first year missed the consortium’s target of 21,190 children.
