Poor students face study challenges
Mon, 14 December 2020
A network of child and youth organisations in Cambodia has called on partner organisations to continue assisting government efforts to provide education during the Covid-19 pandemic, warning that dropouts are rising as some children lack resources to access study materials online.
The request for support came via an online discussion on December 14 under the theme “Covid-19 Crisis Affects Education of Children and Youth” held by the Child Rights Coalition Cambodia (CRC-Cambodia) with participation from Save the Children in Cambodia, Plan International Cambodia, ChildFund and World Vision International Cambodia.
Ieng Morokot of the Child Advocate Network noted during the discussion that the studies of children in some poorer families had been impacted because they needed to spend time helping with house work to ease the burdens on their families.
