Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport in Cambodia to support the implementation of Education Above All Foundation’s (EAA) project aimed at improving access to equitable quality education in Cambodia.
The agreement was signed virtually by Khalifa bin Jassim al-Kuwari, director-general of QFFD, and Dr Hang Chuon Naron, Minister of Education, Youth and Sport in Cambodia. The signing ceremony was also attended by Qatar’s non-resident ambassador to Cambodia, Mohamed Ismail al-Emadi, and Fahd bin Hamad al-Sulaiti, CEO of Education Above All Foundation, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported yesterday.

Under this project, more than 116,000 children will be reached in co-operation with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and the Cambodian Consortium for Out-of-School Children, according to QNA. Al-Kuwari said: “The MoU, which was concluded between the QFFD and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport in Cambodia, aims to support a phased educational project of a programme that seeks to improve access to equitable and high-quality education for children in Cambodia. It will be implemented by our strategic partner, EAA.

“This programme seeks to develop schools for children deprived of education in Southeast Asia. It targets more than 100,000 Cambodian children who are out of school. We hope it will help children deprived of primary education in remote areas where schools can be accessed only by walking over long distances, for more than two and a half hours.”
