Abstract
This chapter and the next one consider issues currently of concern to Cambodian primary school leaders. The present chapter examines this in relation to three sets of issues that relate to Cambodia’s status as a developing country. They are issues relating to administration, to teaching and learning, and to curriculum (the sub-issues treated in relation to each of these are outlined already in the book’s Table of Contents). The next chapter then considers issues that arose as a result of Cambodia’s status as a post-new war country and how this compounds the situation for leaders at the primary school level.
