Increasing access to quality primary education for some of Cambodia's most disadvantaged children

In 2021: The prolonged closure of schools from March to November has had a significant impact on access to education across the country, including on our operations.

Despite these difficulties, we were able to reach 1,832 out-of-school children, including 44 % girls.

To support this project :

Cambodia: |2019 to 2023| Access and quality of education; Health education; Life education (training and vocational integration); Early childhood education & inclusion.

Provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Speu, Kampong Thom, Kampot, Kandal, Kep, Koh Kong, Kratie, Phnom Penh, Prey Veng, Pursat & Siem Reap.

The aim of the project

The Cambodian Consortium for Out of School Children led by Action Education (formerly Aide et Action) in partnership with Educate A Child, a global programme of the Education Above All Foundation, aims to enroll over 116,000 out of school children in school.

The project directly supports the objectives of the Cambodian Education Strategic Plan 2019-2023 which include ensuring equitable access for all to education services, enhancing the quality and relevance of learning, and providing effective and flexible education services.
