Perspectives
Having worked as a researcher and educator at the micro, mezo and macro levels of the Cambodian education system I hope that this article may offer further insights for policy makers and those working in development agencies tackling issues of how best to develop the quality of teaching and learning in Cambodia as well as in other countries of the Global South.
