Today marks the national launch of Cambodia’s Lifelong Learning Policy, officially endorsed by Samdech Prime Minister Techo Hun Sen last June. The launch, a collaboration between UNESCO and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS), took place in Phnom Penh and brought together over 120 participants from technical departments of MoEYS and concerned Ministries, development partners, and NGOs.

With the contribution of CapED funding, UNESCO supported the Department of Non-Formal Education to update Khmer and Maths textbooks for the Community Literacy Programme. These new textbooks are the foundation of Cambodia’s national Lifelong Learning Policy and respond to the needs and priorities identified in the Education 2030 SDG 4 Roadmap and Education Strategic Plan for 2019-2030……………………
