Similarities of the Policies
The two governments have decentralized some functions and responsibilities to lower levels of administration but remain rather centralized, especially with regard to standard setting and teacher management in Cambodia (UNESCO, 2014). Cambodia has just developed the culture of decentralization into education system to ensure the equitable access to quality and efficiency, institutional development and capacity building for local administration (Chhinh & Dy, 2009; Niazi, 2011). However, Thailand has pursued the reform of its education system through decentralization, universalization of basic education, expanding capacity for upper secondary school and ensuring opportunities for life-long learning for all people. The country has been strengthening the local capacity in planning, managing, implementing and monitoring the education system at all levels, especially down to the local administration organizations to better inform and improve policies, planning and management decision-making (Amornvivat, 2004) Both countries have been increasing their national expenditure about 20% in the recent years. This financial allocation to the education sector provides a clear indicator of the government commitment to improve the education system. Moreover, the two countries have the same formulation of 6+3+3 system that require by law on 9-year basic education and 12 year free of schooling that prepare students for the basic life skills, cultural identity and understanding about society where they live in and compete in the labor market.The current education system in both countries pulled number of students to schools. The net enrollments have increased significantly at primary school level. The rates are considered relatively high from 80% to 98% in the last couple years. With this report, Cambodia and Thailand have showed effort in creating opportunities for children across countries and they are on the way to achieve the EFA in 2015. Most interestingly, both countries have abolished the school fee in 2000 by adding this policies to law of education. Therefore, education became the human right in which children have equal chances to attend school. This new imposed law has a great impact on children to access school and continue their study to the next levels, particularly it helps to narrow the gate between gender disparity in basic education. For the poor children from low economicbackground, both governments have provided some scholarships to encourage family to send their children to schools. For some cases in Thailand, the grant for travel and uniformed have been offered to ensure the financial security of the poor family in somewhat preventing the child labor while they have their rights to at least finish basic education.
