1. By Helen Kim and Anna Chae

2. • Education was traditionally offered only to boys, under
the Buddhist custom and highly regarded
전통적으로 캄보디아의 교육은 불교 문화로 이루어
졌으며 교육을 중요시 하는 국가였습니다.
• There was a library (the
storehouse of knowledge)
central to each temple at the
Angkor Wat
앙코르와트 절들 중심에는
도서관들(지식의 창고)이 있다.

3. Following French colonisation, the Khmer Rouge regime
(Pol Pot’s communist leadership 1975-1979) destroyed the
education system in Cambodia:
프랑스 식민지배후, 크메르 루그의 지배로 인해 교육시스템이
무너졌다: were closed and others
- Many schools
turned into prisons such as the Tuol
Sleng prison
많은 학교들이 문을 닫고, 그중 많은
학교들이 감옥으로 사용되고 있다. 예)
토우슬랭 감옥.
- Many educated people and teachers
were executed such that only; 50 of the
725 university instructors, 207 of the
2,300 secondary school teachers and
2,717 of 21,311 primary school
teachers survived the regime.
많은 지식인들과 선생님들이 처형을
당했다.

4. • The education system of Cambodia today still suffers from
having to re-build everything that had been lost during the
Pol Pot years
캄보디아의 교육시스템을 재건하는 일에 있어 캄보디아는
여전히 어려움을 겪고있다.
- High rate of illiteracy at more than 40% - 문맹률 40%
- Over-age school enrolment - 적정나이 이상의 입학
- High drop-out rates - 높은 자퇴률
- Poor quality of teaching and learning -낮은 수준의
가르침과 배움
• Structure of education is similar to ours with; six years of
primary, three years of intermediate and 3 years of
secondary schooling.
캄보디아의 교육과정: 초등과정 6년, 중등과정 3년, 고등과정

5. • Problems faced by the
Cambodian education
system can be primarily
attributed to the shortage
of resources and
teachers.
캄보디아 교육의 문제점:
교육자와 교육자원 부족
• Government annual
expenditure on education
is very low at just 1.6% of
Cambodia's GDP, where
most western countries
spend around 5.5% to
6.4%.
캄보디아의 교육예산은
캄보디아 GDP의 1.1%로

6. • Classes are under-equipped and
often run without textbooks or pen
and paper – “chalk and talk” style of
teaching predominates
대부분의 학생들은 교과서,펜 그리고
종이 없이 수업하고, 단지 분필로
적으면서 말하는 형식의 가르침이 주를
이룬다.
• With a shortage of qualified
teachers and classrooms, there are
approximately 60 students per class
정식교사의 수가 현저히 적어 한반의
60명정도의 학생들이 같이 수업한다.

7. • School grounds are not
maintained and some schools
do not even have access to
clean water
학교건물들의 관리는 매우
나쁘며 간혹 몇 학교들은 깨끗한
물을 쓸 수 없을 정도로 열악하다.
• These factors hinder learning
and decrease student
motivation and incentives to
study – thus compromising
their education and future
hence preventing them from
escaping poverty
이런 열악한 환경으로 인해

8. • Corruption “Teachers sell copy papers
or lesson paper and students who
don’t buy the paper will receive the
low mark... Students pay teachers in
national exams. If they want to pass
they need the money”
부정과 부패: 선생님들은 국가고시의
시험지를 팔며 시험지를 사지 않은
학생들은 낮은 점수를 받게된다.
Teachers in Cambodia are earning merely US$20 to US$50 a
month, they resort to collecting informal school fees of $0.02 to
$0.05 per day from students to supplement their salaries. This
further deters children from attending schools as they cannot afford
to pay for the informal school fees.

9. • Competence “Some teachers don't come to teach on
time. They are absent without permission. Many
students cannot even write Khmer in the class, they
can’t read or write. The education in Cambodia is very
low.”
능숙도: 선생님들은 제시간에 수업에 들어오지 않으며
무단결석으로 인해 많은 학생들은 모국어인 크메르를
읽거나 쓰지 못하는 경우가 많다.
Due to the shortage of teachers in
Cambodia, teachers employed often
lack proper training. Most teachers in
Cambodia, especially those in the
more remote areas had not even
completed their secondary education.

10. • Compassion “The principal should have more interest in
the lives of students” (as lifelong disciples and leaders
of the future)… the librarians are rude and therefore
some students do not want to go to the library”
긍휼: 교장선생님들은 학생들의 생활에 좀 더 많은 관심을
가져야 한다. 일생의 제자와 캄보디아의 미래 리더를
키운다는 책임감을 가지고. 또한 학교사서들의 무례한
태도들로 인해 학생들의 도서관 출입횟수가 줄어드는 일도
없어야 한다.
Such desperate circumstances
rob teachers of the space of
heart to truly care for students, as
their primary concerns are for
their immediate survival.

11. • In 2009 Cambodia has a tertiary enrolment rate to 10%
2009 년 에는 대학 입학률이 10%였습니다
• Lacks world recognition and is currently not
acknowledged by QS World rankings (ranking of the
world’s top 700 universities)
현재 QS 세계 700 등수 안에들지못하고 있읍니다
• Higher education institutions are mainly located in major
cities. Hence, students have to bear the cost of transport
and living expenses in addition to their school fees
• Example of another barrier to higher education

12. Teaching is an important part of our ministry as it
is an opportunity to;
free the students from a generation of poverty, to
preach the teacher that Jesus was,
and to reach out and heal students’ broken faith in
the education system and restore hope.
