خلفية ثقافية
Education is seen as a way to honor one's parents. A child who 'រៀនសូត្រ' well brings 'face' and pride to the family. The term 'Sout' links modern education to the ancient practice of chanting Pali sutras in the pagoda. In the 1980s, after the Khmer Rouge, 'រៀនសូត្រ' became a symbol of national rebuilding and hope. Using 'រៀនសូត្រ' in a workplace shows humility and a 'growth mindset,' which is highly valued in Khmer hierarchy.
