Without relentless commitments from each of them, reliable and useful data would not have been collected and the report would not be completed with in-depth and meaningful insights into the school dropout issues in Cambodia. Sincere appreciation also goes to Dr. No Fata who has provided us with dropout literature and tools and Dr. Tao Nary who has spent her time reviewing the draft and putting her thoughts into it to make the report a highly coherent, academically and practically informative works.

This is an ambitious road map for teacher reform in Cambodia.

To prevent dropout, it is important to identify the reasons why children leave school. So far, much research has been conducted on the causes of school dropout mainly by asking stakeholders, especially dropped-out students and their parents to state their personal reasons why children are not in school. Unlike most of the previous studies, this study, in order to find out reasons more objectively and accurately, employed a longitudinal quantitative analysis. The study was conducted in five primary schools and five lower secondary schools in rural parts of Kampong Cham Province. The result of the follow-up study of three cohort groups showed that late school entry, repetition and low achievement were the main causes of dropout throughout the grades. To belong to some schools was another factor that influences student dropout decision. On the other hand, poverty which was mentioned as the main cause of dropout in many studies in Cambodia was found insignificant in this study.

The results showed that economic status, child labor, and parents’ aspirations had no significant effect in any of the cohorts. The odds of dropout increased significantly with divorce of parents, relationships with friends, and late school entry of students in grades 1–4, and with grade repetition and relative academic achievement of those in grades 4–9. In addition, dropout rates differed significantly between schools.

Most of them were conducted in urban schools and on the schools that were benefitted from the pilot projects by the organizations working to improve educational conditions. Unlikely, this paper attempted to figure out what influenced achievement of the fourth-graders in Cambodian rural primary schools by investigating the three main factors, namely family, individual and community. The results from multiple linear regression showed that, on individual level, student self-esteem, student motivation, frequency of homework completion and teacher-student interactions were positively related to the achievement whereas student absenteeism negatively affected math achievement. On family level, the amount of time the students had spent helping their families lowered their math test scores. However, some forms of child labor increased their achievement on both math and Khmer tests. As expected, high levels of maternal education and parental motivation improved children's achievement. Surprisingly, children living without parents or with mothers
