Comparative Education Society of Cambodia (CESCam) was established in 2018 by a group of researchers of Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI) and scholars of some Cambodian universities. It was inaugurated during the 11th Biennial Conference of Comparative Education Society of Asia (CESA) hosted by CDRI in Siem Reap in May 2018. Approximately 350 participants from over 150 academic institutions across Asia and beyond attended this regional conference.
With a vision to promote comparative education for higher learning in Cambodia, CESCam intends to foster teaching and research in the area of comparative education in Cambodia, produce publication about Cambodian education and beyond, contribute to advancing philosophy, methodology and methods in comparative education in Cambodia, and establish networks with local and international research and educational institutions and other counterpart societies.
