In Cambodia, education is a partnership between schools, teachers, and families. Research and experience show that when parents actively participate in their child’s learning journey, students perform better academically, develop stronger social skills, and enjoy a more positive school experience.

Across Phnom Penh and beyond, parents are playing an increasingly vital role in supporting education—and together with schools, they are building brighter futures for Cambodia’s children.

Why Parental Involvement Matters

Parental involvement encompasses activities like:

  • Supporting homework and study routines

  • Attending parent-teacher meetings

  • Encouraging reading and learning at home

  • Communicating regularly with teachers

  • Participating in school events and decision-making

When parents engage with their child’s education, students gain confidence, motivation, and a deeper love of learning.

Growing Parent Engagement in Cambodia

Over recent years, schools in Cambodia have been working to strengthen communication and collaboration with families. Many schools now:

  • Host regular workshops for parents on supporting learning at home

  • Organize family reading days, cultural events, and open classrooms

  • Use phone calls or messaging apps to keep parents informed

  • Encourage parental input on school activities and programs

These efforts have helped build trust and partnership between home and school.

Practical Tips for Parents

Parents who want to support their child’s learning can:

  • Create a quiet and comfortable study space at home

  • Set a regular time for reading and homework

  • Praise effort and celebrate progress

  • Talk about what they learned at school each day

  • Encourage curiosity by visiting libraries, museums, or cultural sites

Even small daily actions can make a big difference.

Schools Supporting Parents

Teachers and administrators recognize the importance of guiding parents and offer resources such as:

  • Simple guides on helping with literacy and numeracy

  • Advice on healthy routines, nutrition, and sleep

  • Tips for positive communication and behavior support

  • Opportunities for parents to volunteer or participate in school councils

These partnerships help create a nurturing environment for students.

Final Thoughts: Together for Cambodia’s Children

Parental involvement enriches Cambodia’s education system by creating a community of support around each learner. When families and schools unite, children feel valued, supported, and ready to reach their full potential.

As Cambodia’s education continues to grow and evolve, fostering strong family-school partnerships will remain a cornerstone of success.
