History
The ministry was established on 24 January 1996,[4][5] although others date it to 1992[6] or 1993.[7]
In 1999, the Ministry conducted an extensive literacy survey throughout Cambodia. Unlike the 1997 literacy survey done by the Ministry of Planning, which only consisted of yes–no questions according to UNESCO, the 1999 survey included a reading and writing test, and its results revealed that only 37.1% of the adult Cambodian population were functionally literate.[8][9] In comparison, the 1997 survey reported a 66% literacy rate.[8]
