Abstract

This paper explores outreach strategies aimed at enhancing education access in Cambodia, focusing on initiatives by higher education institutions. Despite progress, educational opportunities remain limited in Cambodia, particularly in rural areas. Drawing on case studies and best practices, this study examines effective outreach approaches, including community engagement, scholarship programs, and online platforms. It highlights the importance of collaboration with local stakeholders, government agencies, and non-profit organizations to address barriers to education. The findings underscore the potential of outreach efforts to broaden educational horizons and foster socio-economic development in Cambodia.
