Putting a premium on education in Cambodia


Labor costs in Cambodia are cheaper than China, Vietnam or Thailand. That has helped foreign companies like U.S. stuffed toy maker "First & Main" stay profitable, but the biggest challenge for many businesses is finding an educated workforce for more skilled jobs.

Can Cambodia’s education system keep pace with the ambitions of businesses and investors and continue to foster a growing middle class?

I think "it" is not Khmer, which tries to harm Khmer's character.

The problem isn't there enough educated workers. It is the wage. Foreign companies pay really cheap for their workers. Educated workers will not bow to such treatment. If they pay educated workers high enough to live on, there will be a lot of Khmer from abroad move back.
