Tradition, Modernity, and the Development of Education in Cambodia.

Ayres, David M.

Comparative Education Review, v44 n4 p440-63 Nov 2000

Reviews Cambodia's educational development, characterized by a series of successive crises since the country's independence from France in 1953. Examines various approaches of development discourse to the educational crisis, and suggests that previous analyses of Cambodia's educational development have failed to recognize the tensions generated by competing demands of tradition and modernity.
