T HE European Union's $15-million educational program - a co-operative effort
with the Royal Government - has expanded into the provinces, says EU spokesman
Trolliet Batrick.
Part of the EU's $80 million aid package, the two-year
primary educational program was launched five months ago and has spread from
Phnom Penh to Battambang, Takmao and Takeo.
The project, involving up to
48,000 students, includes teacher training, curricula reform, management
training, equipment and materials. Batrick said EU has made a long-term
commitment to Cambodia, with its 10 different programs.
