Education
Problem #1:
In Cambodia there are high rates of enrollment in the schools but the number of students who actually attend their classes is much lower. This is a problem because few are actually continuing on with their education. When they do not have this higher education they are less likely to have the skills needed to join the work-force or to be self-employed.
Solution:
I think the biggest solution to this problem would be to find the reason behind the low number of students attending their classes. Why would there be so many children that enroll in school yet so few that actually attend. If the children and the parents were more aware of the importance of education then there would be an increase in the students going to school. If they were better able to see that link between education and work they would have a greater desire to gain that education. I would create a bigger focus on not just getting the children into the schools but informing them on how it will greatly benefit their future life.

Problem #2:
Child malnutrition is still a problem in Cambodia as well as child laborers. Child labor is decreasing but is still a problem. Those aged 18 years and younger and working would be considered a child laborer. When children are working it takes them out of the schools where they do not get the proper education to help them move on to a better work place.
Solution:
A solution to this problem would be to provide funding for the children to attend school. Not only this but maybe also give funding to the parents of children as well. Some of these parents may need their children working in order to provide for their family. If the parents are able to have a better job or wages then they will feel they can let go of their child working and instead send them to school. One other thing might be to help them become aware why their children need to go to school more than work. For them, they may see nothing wrong in making their children work. If they can see this importance of education then they are also more likely to let their children go to school.
