Challenges and Opportunities for Improving General Education in Cambodia This paper analyzes the current state of education in Cambodia, a developing country in Southeast Asia with a history of civil war and political instability. Despite the progress made in increasing access to primary education, the paper identifies several factors that limit the quality and equity of general education, such as insufficient funding, unqualified teachers, low achievement, and high dropout. The paper argues that these factors have negative implications for the human capital, economic growth, and social cohesion of Cambodia. The paper also suggests some potential solutions and recommendations, such as increasing public investment, enhancing teacher training, improving learning assessment, and reducing barriers to completion.

Every good socio-economic strategy has potential negative effects if not governed and administered well. PNG's Tuition-Fee-Free (TFF) Policy needs visible and effective policies with transparent governance mechanisms and practices to achieve both quantity and quality in education. I've done a case study on Enga Province, and the lessons learned are similarly relevant for other provinces. Respective authorities can take note of these insights to enhance the implementation of the TFF policy. #Research #TFFPolicy #Education

The Recommendations of the UN Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on the Teaching Profession were launched today at the 14th Policy Dialogue Forum of the International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Recommendations advance new ground on education and teaching, stressing the importance of an enabling and supportive environment for teaching and learning, a move away from individualistic competition towards emphasis on human relations, a transformed role of the teacher, support for teachers in crisis situations, human-centred education technology, as well as decent working conditions and social dialogue.

Some things to consider perhaps ? A respectful question- Is the major problem that this is only an Admin focussed project in Pacific Ed that it ignores (publicly anyway) the students , their families our languages, cultures, identities, hopes aspirations , evidence based research on what actually works .. Example -The insistence in the Solomans that only standard British English can be used in education and bans Solomans Pidgin which everyone speaks and uses, denies thousands of students the chance to actually learn and succeed in education The possibility across the entire Pacific nations of having both through Bilingual Education with Biliteracy education is never examined for its research proven approach to raising academic achievement especially through Biliteracy in two literacies. In addition inappropriate outdated Assessment systems label most students as failures rather than an Ed system the acknowledges Pacific strengths and builds on what students bring to education with them and can be successfully built on as many other highly successful nations are doing ??

In the dynamic landscape of education, the methodologies we employ to assess student learning are paramount. As Kenya continues to evolve its educational frameworks, understanding the nuances of assessment methods becomes increasingly crucial. Join me as we delve into a comprehensive comparative study of assessment methods across various Kenyan education curricula. From traditional systems like the 7-6-3 and 8-4-4 models to the innovative Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), we'll explore how assessment practices have evolved, their impact on student learning, and the implications for educational reform. Let's embark on a journey to uncover insights that can shape the future of education in Kenya. https://lnkd.in/dzQHmvbA
