A United Nations press release has KKF statements ” A representative of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Federation said that 70 per cent of his people were illiterate, and recommended that an educational foundation be set up with outside funding and technical support, without government interference. The Khmer Krom language should be one of Viet Nam’s official languages, and a school should be established that was operated by the Khmer Krom. Scholarships and opportunities to study abroad should be equally shared between the Khmer Krom and the country’s remaining population. The UNESCO should work with the Forum to assist with the education of Viet Nam’s indigenous peoples.” Link
