After almost 30 years of devastating war in Cambodia, the Royal Government of Cambodia is trying to develop its human resources in order to reconstruct the country and integrate it into the regional and global community.

The current stage of development of education is still at an early stage compared with its neighbours.

The government and international community are working together to achieve the EFA goals by 2015 and the government recognises that ICT is crucial for achieving not only these goals but also in enabling freedom of expression and communication. It is expected that use of ICT will also encourage a culture of self-learning and lifelong learning.

The term ICT as used in Cambodia encompasses computer technology, computer networks, email and Internet and also radio and television. This policy was developed in consultation with national and international partners through a series of workshops and meetings in Cambodia and the region.
