However, attracting more students to TVET institutions, especially those from impoverished and vulnerable families, remains challenging. To do so, a monthly stipend of 280,000 riels (nearly $70) is required if they enrol in TVET programs.

A continent where education is available, acceptable, accessible, and adaptable to all children is an Africa Fit for Children. We urge African governments to commit to: 1.Ensuring Availability: Provide sufficient educational resources and infrastructure for every child. 2.Maintaining Acceptability: Ensure that education is culturally relevant and of high quality. 3.Improving Accessibility: Remove barriers that prevent children from attending school. Enhancing Adaptability: Adapt education systems to meet the diverse needs of all learners. Join us in making this vision a reality. Let's work together to create an Africa where every child has the opportunity to thrive through quality education Follow African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child #Africaday
