The purpose of the study was to evaluate early childhood care and education
policies and programmes in Cambodia, particularly the macro and micro factors
which influenced the form and implementation of early childhood programmes
The major objectives of the empirical study were to:
· Assess the effectiveness of the Community Preschool (CPS) and Home-based
programmes (HBP) on school readiness developmental outcomes for children who
are/have been in these different types of early childhood programmes;
· Observe early care and education practices in CPS and in HBP and assess the
extent to which various practices influence children’s school readiness;
· Discern the perceptions of key stakeholders (teachers, parents, commune
officials, policy makers) on how the CPS and HBP are currently being
implemented; and
· Make recommendations for the future improvement of the CPS and HB programmes
and suggest strategies that will contribute to improved effectiveness and
sustainability of these programmes.
