AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document discusses the role of monastic education in the social structure of Cambodian villagers. It argues that the social standing of a person among villagers was greatly shaped by the level of education he obtained in Buddhist monateries. By the 1960s, however, fewer young men showed interest in becoming monks partly for reasons related to the availablity of modern secular education.
