Cambodia's floating schools hit by rising fuel costs

Cambodia's floating schools are facing a new challenge as fuel prices continue to rise, driven by the Iran war. This increase in fuel costs is affecting families who rely on fishing and boats for their livelihoods, making it harder for them to send their children to school. For children living on Tonle Sap, education is already a struggle, and rising fuel costs pose yet another barrier to accessing education. This could have long-term consequences for the education and economic prospects of these communities.
