EIU Best Practice Series No.8: Integrating international human rights standards into school curriculum, textbooks, teachers' guides and school climate in Cambodia Year of publication: 2007 Author: Seungmi Lee | Hyewon Jung Corporate author: APCEIU It goes without saying that the aftermath of the war brings various challenges such as poverty, displacement, disability, destroyed culture, etc. and it is of critical importance that it should be well-remedied to preclude its recurrence. In this regard, value education and human rights education are considered crucial and to my mind, so is the educational role that religion can play. Although religions have harmonized the impaired society, but generally they have not been appreciated by their ignorant disciples or followers. Thus, value education is considered to be able to play a crucial role. It is in this context that human rihts education is gaining currency in Cambodia in recent years and has been implemented gradually.

The Achievements and Tasks of the Global Citizenship Education University Course Development Project Year of publication: 2020 Author: Eegyeong Kim | Soobin Min | Semi Lee | Haeryun Kim Corporate author: Korean Society of Education for International Understanding (KOSEIU) This study seeks to analyze the achievements and tasks of the 「GCED University Course Development Project」 promoted by APCEIU. Using such research methods as literature review, workshops, and expert consultation, we analyzed the four-year project surrounding course providers, course contents, and student learning and satisfaction. The findings show that the project has heightened universities’ interest in GCED through 33 courses involving 1,572 students from 21 universities. It was also confirmed that a variety of supports allowed students to have meaningful learning experiences. However, large class sizes, disparity among universities, and the absence of performance measuring tools seemed to limit the success of the project. As a strategy for overcoming these limitations, we suggested the tasks in terms of both quantitative and qualitative aspects. 
Global Citizenship Education in South Korea through Civil Society Organizations: Its Status and Limitation (Asian Journal of Education, Vol.17, Special Issue) Year of publication: 2016 Author: HeeJung Raina Sim Corporate author: Asia Development Institute of Seoul National University This study aims to analyze global citizenship education (GCED) content programming offered by civil society organizations (CSOs) in South Korea. Drawing from Andreotti’s (2006) two strands of proposed concept on GCED, the paper identifies the current status and limitations of the GCED programs offered in Korea; thus, draws recommendation for the future GCED program development. The study finds that many GCED programs are heavily focused on humanistic towards a justice-oriented perspective or ‘soft’ approach rather than balancing the fundamental structures that enable learners to recognize global power imbalances, or critical approach. The study argues that providing a well balanced program that integrates two strands of GCED is imperative as CSOs to play a key role through non-formal and informal education that complements formal education’s provision. The study thus suggests that a complex web of cultural and material local/global contexts needs to be examined during the GCED program design in order to further foster ‘critical’ practice of GCED that was identified by Andreotti.
