Abstract

This study examined the role of Buddhist education in human resource development at Prey Speu Buddhist Primary School in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research investigated how Buddhist education contributes to cognitive, affective, and behavioral development among students. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 70 participants, including teachers and students from grades 5 and 6, supplemented by in-depth interviews with five key informants comprising senior teachers and school administrators. The survey instrument demonstrated strong internal consistency, with missing data handled through listwise deletion. Quantitative findings revealed strong participant recognition of Buddhist education's importance across multiple dimensions, with 77.14% strongly agreeing it teaches citizenship and appropriate behavior, 74.28% valuing the integration of religious and universal knowledge, and 71.42% recognizing its role in developing critical thinking. Regarding specific contributions to human resource development, 88.57% of participants acknowledged the school provides educational opportunities for orphans, 82.85% recognized access for poor students, and 75.71% agreed the curriculum provides sufficient knowledge for higher education progression. Qualitative interviews identified three major themes: holistic student development through integrated practice, educational accessibility as social mission, and balancing secular curriculum with Buddhist teachings. The integration of quantitative and qualitative evidence demonstrates that Buddhist education contributes substantially to human resource development through ethical formation, contemplative practices, comprehensive support systems, and integrated curriculum combining ministry requirements with Buddhist principles, thereby preparing students for both practical livelihood and moral development.

Abstract

Cambodia's educational system is deeply rooted in Buddhist tradition, with monasteries historically serving as learning centers that prioritize moral development and cultural preservation alongside academic subjects. This qualitative case study investigates the role of Buddhist education at Wat Prey Speu Buddhist Primary School, exploring how it integrates traditional precepts within the national curriculum. Thematic analysis was used to interpret data from in-depth interviews with 59 stakeholders, including students, teachers, and administrators. The findings reveal the school's primary strength is its holistic approach, which develops students' moral conduct (Sīla), concentration (Samādhi), and wisdom (Paññā). The institution also plays a vital role in preserving Khmer culture and providing affordable education to underserved communities. Key recommendations include formalizing the curriculum, addressing a significant gender imbalance, and seeking formal recognition and support from the Ministry of Education to promote this valuable educational model.
