Policy on Education for Children with disabilities |
|
After nearly three decades of civil war, political stability has just returned to Cambodia. During the war, many Cambodian people died of starvation and great hardship. Many others become disabled from war injuries or lack of nutrition and shelter, and still others have been traumatized and have become chronic patients. The educational system was destroyed.
Currently, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MoEYS) has started to maintain statistics on children with disabilities through the Education Management Information System (EMIS). The 2004 Cambodia Socio-Economic Survey (CSES) found that vision and hearing disabilities as well as mobility-related disabilities together account for 68% of all reported disabilities and that 2.6% of girls and 2.9% of boys between the ages of 5 to 17years did not attend school due to disabilities.
