Quality education is the human need, the preparation for entering employment and the contribution to social development.” - Clyde Chitty in Understanding Schools and Schooling. “If we all want Cambodia to become a developed country, we must first educate the people to be developed human resource.” This reflects the role of education, especially human resource, in the process of development. Further, Cambodian history also shows precisely that when the Khmer Empire reached its golden age, the human resource structure was the driving force behind its development. In contrast, when there was warfare in the country, its education system and human resource were the first to be destroyed. For instance, during the war and Pol Pot regime, human resource in Cambodia was considerably destroyed. Cambodian people were traumatized and lost their sense of direction.
