 The low 40% enrollment rate at secondary level and 5% at tertiary level has caused the majority of Cambodian population not being able to converse in English, which is the common language used in the commercial industries.Bill Hayden, Australian's foreign minister said in 1983 that ‘the only way for Australia to help Cambodia in the reconstruction is to help them to learn English’, so that they can request for aid, access modern technology and the commercial world, as well as share knowledge to help Cambodia develop.Failing to educate women can also lead to an economic cost of US$92 billion worldwide each year, thus suggesting that educating more women in Cambodia would lead to more economic gains.
