Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the most comprehensive account yet published about the education system in Cambodia. It covers all system levels and draws upon the knowledge and insights of a wide range of leading Cambodian and foreign scholars. The book focuses on how the system has developed and is making progress. Significant achievements over the past two decades are evident, but many problems remain, including the poor quality of teaching, research and institutional management. Under-funding is an ongoing obstacle, but so too is a bureaucratic culture of resistance to change, a history of weak governance, and an anti-reform sentiment deriving from a teacher-centred and exam-driven curriculum. Achieving international standards must now be the system’s highest priority. To this end, the system must rid itself of conservatism, complacency and manipulation by parochial vested interests.

This book was released on 2009-02-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yasushi Hirosato and Yuto Kitamura Developing countries, including Southeast Asian countries, face an enormous challenge in ensuring equitable access to quality education in the context of deepening globalization and increasing international competition. They must simultaneously meet the goals of Education for All (EFA) at the basic education level and of developing a more sophisticated workforce required by the knowledge-based economy at the post-basic, especially tertiary, education level. To meet this challenge, developing countries need to reform/renovate their education systems and service deliveries as an integral part of national development. However, most of them have not yet fully developed the individual, institutional, and system capacities in undertaking necessary education reforms, especially under decentralization and privatization requiring new roles at various (central and local, or public and private) levels of administration and stakeholders. Provided that an ultimate vision of educational development and cooperation in the twenty-first century would be to develop indigenous capacity in engineering education reforms, this book analyzes the overall education reform context and capacity, including the status of sector program support using the sector-wide approach (SWAp)/program-based approach (PBA) in developing countries. We also address how different stakeholders have been interacting in order to promote equitable access to quality education, particularly from the perspectives of capacity development under the system of decentralization.

Abstract: Only a few research papers study the pursuit of multiple degrees in Cambodian higher education context; today, it is a popular trend for students to pursue more than one degree upon when of their high school diploma or associate degree (Walker, 2012). However, taking more than one degree in Cambodian higher education raises the question of whether or not it offers a successful academic option for students. This study investigates the factors that influence students' decisions to take more than one degree. The study also examines the challenges that students have encountered during their academic life. Last, the view of students toward the multiple degrees is explored. A qualitative research methodology is adopted in order to answer these questions and analyze the phenomenon. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews are the two main tools used in this study. The study has found that there are many reasons why students decide to take more than one degree. Among them, the wish to broaden knowledge, increase job opportunities, academic interest, gaining knowledge that is complementary to the first degree, and the clarification of academic interests and future goals are the main reasons behind taking the multiple degrees today. However, most students have struggled with issues such as time management, health condition, and financial problem during their academic studies. Moreover, the study illustrates that the majority of students are satisfied with taking multiple degrees, while only the minority of students are not satisfied with the multiple degrees due primarily to low levels of concentration on lessons, repeating the same courses between the different degrees and taking on large workloads. Last, this study suggests a series of recommendations and further studies at the end of the paper. Subjects: College students - Cambodia

This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rise of Quality Assurance in Asian Higher Education provides information on the well researched quality assurance frameworks, processes, standards, and internal and external monitoring that have taken place around the globe. However, in Asia, where higher education has witnessed rapid growth, and is also contributing significantly to international education which is benefited by many developed countries, this data has not been readily available. In recent years, governments in Asia have made significant investment with an aim of creating education hubs to ensure that higher education is internationally competitive. This book examines the developments in higher education quality assurance in eleven Asian countries, providing systematic insights into national quality assurance arrangements and also examining the different approaches governments in Asia have implemented based on social and economic contexts. Includes chapters from eleven countries that examine quality assurance arrangements Explores untold case studies of countries, such as Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Korea, India, and others Examines higher education context, quality assurance arrangements, effectiveness, challenges, and international quality assurance in Asia Offers contributions from leading scholars and practitioners who are working in higher education in Asia Provides engagement for research students

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Pedagogy - Miscellaneous Topics, grade: A, Simon Fraser University, language: English, abstract: In a democratic country, in particular a country in the process of being democratized, high levels of civic engagement from the public are seen as necessary factors to sustain the principles and livelihood of democracy. In the meantime, education, especially higher education, plays a very significant role in promoting citizenship and civic activism. This study tries to identify the levels of civic engagement among students at the Royal University of Phnom Penh and to investigate whether higher education has any significant part in fostering civic engagement among the students. To this end, 200 senior students at the Royal University of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's oldest and largest public university, were surveyed. In the questionnaire, three main categories of civic engagement were used: (a) civic activities, (b) electoral activities and (c) activities for political voice. Results indicate that the students were engaged in only a few activities, but not many others. However, based on the results, the students showed high perceptions about civic activities and high attentiveness to politics and government. What is interesting, however, is that (higher) education and family-two fundamental social institutions-seem to have no significant roles to play in building civically engaged citizens. The findings appear to reflect the current socio-political developments in Cambodia. The study concludes that Cambodia's historical context and current social, economic and political situations provide a strong basis for the results of the study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, the United Nations sponsored national elections in Cambodia, signaling the international community's commitment to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of what was, by any measure, a shattered and torn society. Cambodia's economy was stagnant. The education system was in complete disarray: Students had neither pens nor books, teachers were poorly trained, and classrooms were literally crumbling. Few of the individuals and organizations responsible for financing, planning, and implementing Cambodia's post-election development thought it necessary to ask why the country's economy and society were in such a parlous state. The mass graves scattered throughout the countryside provided an obvious explanation. The appalling state of the education system, many argued, could be directly attributed to the fact that among the 1.7 million victims of Pol Pot's holocaust were thousands of students, teachers, technocrats, and intellectuals. In this exacting and insightful examination of the crisis in Cambodian education, David M. Ayres challenges the widespread belief that the key to Cambodia's future development and prosperity lies in overcoming the dreadful legacy of Khmer Rouge. He seeks to explain why Cambodia has struggled with an educational crisis for more that four decades (including the years before the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975) and thus casts the net of his analysis well beyond Pol Pot and his accomplices. Drawing on an extensive range of sources, Ayres clearly shows that Cambodia's educational dilemma--the disparity between the education system and the economic, political, and cultural environments, which it should serve--can be explained by setting education within its historical and cultural contexts. Themes of tradition, modernity, change, and changelessness are linked with culturally entrenched notions of power, hierarchy, and leadership to clarify why education funding is promised but rarely delivered, why schools are built where they are not needed, why plans are enthusiastically embraced but never implemented, and why contracts and agreements are ignored almost immediately after they are signed. Anatomy of a Crisis will be compulsory reading for anyone with an interest in education and development issues, as well as Cambodian society, culture, politics, and history.

Book excerpt: Since 1980, higher education access and endorsement have grown more dramatically in Asia than in any other area of the world. Both developed and developing nations are witnessing rapid expansion in the higher education sector. Nor is this progress entirely quantitative: a number of Asian universities are on a par with the finest institutions of higher education in the U.S. and Europe. Until now, however, there has been little historical analysis and virtually no comparative analysis of Asian higher education. This volume offers a detailed comparative study of the emergence of the modern university in Asia, linking the historical development of universities in the region with contemporary realities and future challenges. The contributors describe higher education systems in eleven countries—Korea, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Phillippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, India, and Japan—and explore similarities and differences through two comparative essays. Each case study includes a discussion of the nature and influence of both indigenous and European educational traditions; a detailed analysis of development patterns; and a close examination of such contemporary issues as population growth and access, cost, the role of private higher education, the research system, autonomy, and accountability.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there is a remarkable increase in the number of higher educational institutions in Cambodia, the quality of tertiary education has not yet achieved a desirable outcome. Thus, the university management team, teachers and policy makers strives to make considerable progress to deal with this challenge. In enhancing the quality of teaching and learning (one of the target elements to improve) in Cambodian higher education, stakeholders have mapped out some practical strategies, yet overlooked the use of ‘student voice’. Therefore, this study was conducted to address the significance of ‘student voice’. The first purpose was to explore the university students’ perspectives on the importance of ‘student voice’ in learning and teaching in Cambodian higher education. The second was to examine the challenges that students encountered when it came to expressing their voice. Last, it aimed at gaining insight from the students on how teachers, students, and university could contribute to promoting the use of ‘student voice’. Qualitative research was employed to obtain rich information from the participants. Eight students in one university located in Phnom Penh City, Cambodia were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview with the data obtained being analysed by thematic analysis. The key findings of this study revealed that ‘student voice’ benefitted both students and teachers by improving the teaching strategy and academic performance. The findings also showed that when their voice was considered there was a positive impact on teaching and learning, and emotion and rapport, but negative impacts when their voice was ignored. Furthermore, students faced barriers when expressing their voice as voice givers, and from their teachers and management team as voice recipients. It also indicated that ‘student voice’ and the culture of respect were interrelated, and unexpectedly, this study also found drawbacks in using ‘student voice’. Explaining the significance of the findings in this study, ‘student voice’ plays an important role in Cambodian higher education, as it has the potential to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Therefore, the university, teachers, students and policy makers should consider using ‘student voice’ in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning, and work cooperatively to promote it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from several Asia-Pacific countries, this book compares performance and productivity in higher education from the perspective of institutional change. Using multiple methods and datasets and including case studies from Australia, Cambodia, China, Malaysia, India and Japan, the authors focus on shedding light on the efficacy of institutional policies and reforms. The worldwide Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education neared 40 per cent in 2020 due to the dramatic increase in enrolments in many developing economies, especially in Asia. This significant increase in the number of students in higher education brings great benefits but requires major ongoing investment by governments around the world. This growth has followed waves of internationalization and marketization, and universities are undergoing substantial change in their organization and character. The goal of many institutional policies and reforms has been better performance and higher productivity. Yet little is known about whether they have achieved this aim. Students, government officials and university leaders all have the right to ask whether the outcomes of higher education justify the costs of running the system. Although increasing attention has been paid to higher education institutions’ management and operation, the study of higher education performance and productivity is still in its relative infancy compared to other enterprises. Written for students and scholars interested in higher education management and productivity, this book will also appeal to government officials and university leaders keen to know more about institutional reform and how to achieve better performance.
