2. 1 Introduction
 2 Situation
 3 Issue
 4 Recommendation
 5 Conclusion

3.  Education is even much more significant than
money or any kinds of property that people
have. If you were well educated, you would
become a key person of development within
your society. Therefore, people should have
enough right to receive education or
knowledge, as much as they can no matter
they are male or female.

4.  Conversely,all of this equal right of being
educated of women in Khmer society in the
past had been opposed. But this matter had
been made to be better during the last
decade. However, this discrimination of
receiving education has to be entirely
combated from our Khmer society.

5.  Female literacy rates in Cambodia have
always struggled, and the unfortunate truth
is that they’re not much improved. The
female literacy rate is held to be around 76%
country-wide, while male literacy sits at
almost 85% (UN Statistical Database, 2004)

7.  The first factor is rooted in traditional
stereotyping of women. In rural areas women
are expected to undertake domestic work
around the home and hence the efficacy of
educating girls is neither understood nor
perhaps accepted. In some instances
education is even viewed as a hindrance to
women as some men may not wish to marry
an educated woman. Therefore in poor
households priority is given to educating sons
rather than daughters, who can be kept
home to assist in domestic chores

8.  The second factor is the availability of
schooling. Underpaid and under-resourced
teachers ask for informal enrolment fees
from students to maintain the upkeep of the
school and staff. In addition to these fees are
sundry expenses such as pens and textbooks.
 Additionally, female literacy can have a
positive effect on gender disparities. It has
been noted that a lack of education greatly
inhibits women’s understanding of their
rights to equality and protection under the
law.

9.  The traditional acceptance of violence and
discrimination towards women is
perpetuated by the lack of both female and
male education. Research shows that poor
and uneducated women represent the
majority of domestic violence victims.

10. . Female literacy is highly correlated with
lower rates of maternal mortality: “Women
with formal education tend to have better
knowledge about health care practices, are
less likely to become pregnant at a very
young age, tend to have fewer, better-
spaced pregnancies, and seek pre- and post-
natal care.

11.  Although Cambodia has made good progress
in education, gender inequality still remains
a major challenge in this sector. Boys and
girls start schooling on equal footing in
primary education but dropout rate among
girl students starts to go up with their grade
improvement, particularly after completion
of secondary level.

12.  Gender issues in education sector including
high illiteracy rates among women, high
dropout rates of girls, and teaching of Chbab
Srey in textbooks have long-term
implications for women’s economic
independence, health, decision-making
capacities and their overall empowerment.

13.  the Royal Government of Cambodia’s (RGC)
ratification of the Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
Against Women (CEDAW) obliges it to
promote female education in the country.

14.  men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their creator with certain
unalienable rights. Everyone is entitled to all
the right for education, without distinction
of any kind, such as race, color, sex and
religion. Furthermore, school embedment
rates for girls and boys are similar in primary
level for both urban and rural areas. At
higher levels of education the gap increases
and enrolment rates for the rural and remote
areas are especial law.

15.  These study groups would encourage
camaraderie and support in the difficult
task of learning literacy, particularly in the
face of potential sexism. The mothers and
women will be better able to learn literacy
in their busy, older age, and the young
daughters will feel supported and
encouraged by their student mothers and
grandmothers.

16.  All in all, the literacy of women is lower than
men in the past because of the Khmer
traditional and old concepts that women are
strict to get education. Even though, now
days the education system in Cambodia, both
men and women have equal right to get
education that protect by the law. But in fact
men are gotten higher education then
women, so there are not too much women
work in high position in government and all
so women teacher in university too.

17.  Additionally,female literacy can have a
positive effect on gender disparities. It has
been noted that a lack of education greatly
inhibits women’s understanding of their
rights to equality and protection under the
law.

18.  Solack of basic education results for higher
in several obstacles to the advancement of
the situation of women, moreover lack of
basic knowledge about rights and duties
prevent them from participating fully in the
development of Cambodia.
