The Education Ministry has unveiled plans to expand a literacy programme for garment factory workers.  Education Ministry secretary of state Nath Bunroeun yesterday said illiteracy is still a major issue in Cambodia, especially amongst garment factory staff, who often drop out of school to work. 
 

The programme, in collaboration with Unesco and literacy group Sipar, will attempt to tackle the issue.   “In a bid to support literacy, I want factory owners and private companies to open up more literacy classes for staff and create opportunities for workers to participate in this programme.
 

“The authorities have to support and coordinate the programme too,” he said.  Currently six factories in Phnom Penh, Kandal, Kampong Speu and Siem Reap provinces are taking part in the initiative, however the ministry hopes to expand the project to a total of 18 factories by the end of the year.
