K is for Knowledge




Education in Cambodia was originally offered in the Wats which are the Buddhist temples. This meant that education was only for the wealthy men. The 1917 Law on Education introduced a  primary and secondary education system modeled after France's. This system of education was not successful. Most children only go to school until they are 18, but some do go on to pursue a degree.
