Lifting barriers: Boys' disengagement from education. Volume 2: Cambodia case study

This case study explores the underlying causes of boys’ disengagement from lower secondary education in Cambodia to understand how the individual, family, school, community, and structural factors interact to shape boys’ educational experiences and trajectories. It draws on explanatory mixed methods research, combining administrative data, stakeholder interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory activities with students, caregivers, teachers, school leaders, civil society, and government officials.

Copublished by UNESCO, Equimundo and the University of East Anglia, and authored by the Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI), this volume is part of a series of publications produced within the Lifting barriers: Educating boys for gender equality project, along with the Scoping study (volume 1) and the Malawi case study (volume 3).
