Financing Education in Cambodia (original) (raw)

has been extremely helpful in all stages o f the work as a team leader, as a professional colleague, and above a lia s a friend. I appreciate all the help and support he provided to me in the smooth conduct o f the study. I have enjoyed working with him in the project and with other members o f the team, Michael Ratcliffe, Nick Bricknell, Howard Thomas, M.M. Malhotra and Edward Fisk. Duggan and Bricknell have also kindly gone through an earlier version o f the study, and ^e c te d several editorial improvements. Laila Lalita Hirani has very cheerfully lent her skills in making graphics and thereby improved the presentation o f the report. Janene Parsons, Som Sophatra and Nou Soknavy provided able office assistance even under pressing conditions. Jandhyala Tilak: FINANCING EDUCATION IN CAMBODIA Ouk Sophea, Phon Tara, and Sam Sereyrath have served as research assistants in the conduct o f the household survey under the personal supervision o f Stephen Duggan'and myself besides serving as interpreters. The villagers/residents o f Phnom Penh, Kandal, Takeo, Preah Veng and Siem Reap provinces have enthusiastically provided the required information. The Documentation Centre o f the Ministry o f Education, Youth and Sports and the Resource Centre o f the Cooperation Committee fo r Cambodia (CCC) have been quite useful. I appreciate the help and assistance provided by the staff o f these two centres. The help and material provided by, and the discussions with, Vin McNamara, Gordon Hunting, Wang Yibing, Antoine Schwartz, Ann Dykstra, Tejaswi Raparla and Brahm Prakash are also appreciated. A special word o f thanks is due to Robert Dawson o f the Asian Development Bank, and to Peter Maccoll fo r the Queensland Education Consortium fo r the trust they placed in me to conduct the study in such a short time in challenging conditions.
