A senior government official has urged the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport to help children – both those who have never attended school as well as dropouts – get an education or receive training to improve their job prospects and income. The push was made at the opening ceremony of the Education Ministry’s annual review of the 2015-2016 academic year and direction for 2016-2017 at the Institute of Technology of Cambodia in the capital on March 21. Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam An, who is also Minister of National Assembly-Senate Relations and Inspection, expressed appreciation for all leaders, Education Ministry officials and relevant parties involved in recent reforms of the education sector.
