Abstract

In alignment with the Royal Government of Cambodia's Vision 2050 and response to Industry 4.0 demands, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports has initiated higher education reforms to build human capital. Despite the rapid increase in higher education institutions, from 1 in 1979 to 189 by 2022–2023, student services remain underdeveloped and inadequately supported. This qualitative study explores key challenges in implementing student services across Cambodian HEIs and examines strategic recommendations to improve support systems. Using purposive sampling, 67 participants from seven stakeholder groups were interviewed through semi-structured, one-on-one, and focus group discussions. Thematic analysis identified challenges such as assessment and attention mechanisms, structured and action plans, human and digital infrastructure, physical infrastructure and facilities, budget constraints, and student perspective. To address these issues, the study proposes a strategic and collaborative approach, involving parent ministries, industry and communities, development partners, religion, parents and guardians, and institutional actors. This study offers practical, stakeholder-informed recommendations to enhance student services, which are vital to improving student success, institutional resilience, and the overall quality of higher education in Cambodia.

Abstract

The microfinance sector in Cambodia has grown rapidly, expanding access to finance for micro-entrepreneurs and low-income households. In the 1990s, it was primarily managed by international non-governmental organizations and significantly contributed to the country’s economic growth, particularly in the education sector. Student loans, furthermore, provided by banks were identified as an important program to help low-income students access higher education. Student loans are especially important for socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, offering opportunities for higher education. However, student loans are rarely discussed in academic literature, specifically their benefits. This study aims to explore the benefits of student loans in Cambodia. To attain the objective, the study utilized a qualitative approach employing a purposive sample. One-on-one interviews were conducted with three experienced officers from the student loan program. The data were analyzed using thematic coding, drawing from both the literature review and emerging patterns.  The results identified four main advantages: (1) Access to higher education; (2) Gain financial responsibility; (3) Invest in human capital, and (4) Reduced family financial pressure. Overall, the study required comprehensive support from the banking sector and higher education institutions in providing more accessible information to students from low-income families. The relevant stakeholders can continue to enhance educational equity for all students, ensuring they have equal opportunities to excel academically and contribute to the human capital development goal, which is essential for supporting Cambodia’s vision by 2030 and 2050.
