A trend observed since the 2014 national exam reforms, Girl in Cambodia consistently outperform boys academically, while boys facing higher risk of dropout. Negative societal factors, including drug use, gambling, and distractions near schools, have more adverse impact on boys’ learning, exacerbating the gender gap. Weak school discipline and limited gender-sensitive pedagogy fail to engage boys effectively, with teachers sometimes unconsciously lowering expectations for male students.
