Multilingual education national action plan 2015-2018

The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, in collaboration with Development Partners and various NGOs, has developed a Multilingual Education National Action Plan 2015–2018 in order to enable students from indigenous minorities to access equitable quality education as well as to respond to National Plan on Education for All. Guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) of the United Nations’ legal framework, the Cambodian Constitution, Education Law, Education Strategic Plan (ESP), Child Friendly School (CFS) Policy, and relevant legal frameworks, the national action plan has a vision to ensure that all indigenous students have the right to access basic education, including the use of their mother tongue in pre-school and the first three years in primary schools.
