Cambodia has agreed to include a text on the Khmer Rouge period of the country’s history in its 2009 high school curriculum.
Half a million copies of A History of Democratic Kampuchea are being distributed to schools across the country.
The 100-page text on the rise and fall of the Khmer Rouge has been reviewed by Cambodian and foreign scholars.
It also includes lessons from Nazi and Rwandan genocides.
Up to two million people were killed during the Khmer Rouge years in power in the 1970s, with the regime emptying cities and enslaving the population on collective farms.
