Cambodian schoolchildren are taught that 3.3 million people were killed under the 1975-1979 Democratic Kampuchea regime (most scholars place the number at around 1.7 million). But the Royal Government of Cambodia, which prepares school texts, has done surprisingly little to educate people born after the regime about the genocide. For example, the entire 9th grade text on the regime for the year 2000 reads: From April 25 to April 27, 1975, the Khmer Rouge leaders held an extraordinary Congress in order to form a new Constitution, and renamed the country “Democratic Kampuchea.” A new government of the DK, led by Pol Pot, came into existence after which Cambodian people were massacred. By 2002, coverage of the regime had disappeared from junior and senior high school texts (the section on modern history was torn out as a result of an intra-government dispute over the treatment of the 1993 elections). No new texts were published in 2003 or 2004.
