It then proceeds to illustrate the case of Cambodia by first reviewing the policy objectives and agenda which have been put forward for implementation with a great sense of optimism. Next, it highlights the impact of the policy reform on the primary education sector, revealing that while the reform was successful at improving enrollment rates in some provinces, it generally was not successful at raising the quality of primary education. The chapter then closely examines why quality of education is difficult to achieve by this large-scale reform. It ends with the conclusions and some policy recommendations for policy-makers to consider when designing and implementing education reform.enSpringer Science + Business Media B.VBasic educationLack of teacher involvementImpact of the reform on accessEducation reformquality and equity in educationCentralized administrationImpact of the policy reformEducation policyBasic education in Cambodia: quality and equityBook chapter
