Cambodia: Government takes measures to educate
garment workers
Cambodian Education Ministry
will be expanding its plans of
conducting a literacy programme
for garment factory workers in the
country. “Illiteracy is still a major
issue in Cambodia, especially
amongst garment factory staff,
who often drop out of school to
work,” averred Nath Bunroeun,
Secretary of State, Education
Ministry. This programme is
being planned in association
with UNESCO and the literacy
group Sipar. “In a bid to support
literacy, I want factory owners
and private companies to open up
more literacy classes for staff and
create opportunities for workers
to participate in this programme,”
