The Education Strategic Plan (ESP) 2009- 2009-2013 review aims to ensure linkages between education policies and strategies with development programs and actions as well as between planning and budgeting. It also gives greater emphasis to expanding early childhood education, expanding non-formal education, technical and vocational training and expanding opportunities to access secondary education and post-secondary education through the continued and improved partnership among Royal Government of Cambodia, development partners, private sector, non-governmental organizations, communities and parents. In addition, the ESP 2009-13 will ensure optimum impact from education expenditure, by putting in place clearly defined measures to ensure its efficiency, especially placing key emphasis on providing educational access to children and youth who have missed their educational opportunities. Other major points include strengthening the implementation of the Education Law, the teachers’ code of conduct, good governance, capacity development of educational staff at all levels and the encouragement of decentralization.
