Sixth National Conference on Transforming Education Paradigm

BACKGROUND

The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) and the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport (MoEYS) continue to advance efforts toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) – ensuring inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all. The Education 2030 Roadmap and other strategic plans emphasize lifelong learning, gender equality, and improved learning outcomes.
