WASHINGTON, May 24, 2012 (Reuters) - Asians are the most highly
educated group of Americans, with more than half with a
bachelor's degrees or higher, the Census Bureau reported on
Thursday.
Among groups of Asian Americans 25 and older, 74 percent of
Taiwanese and 71 percent of Indians had at least a bachelor's
degree, the agency said as part of its release of American
Community Survey data on hundreds of racial, tribal and Hispanic
groups.
The comparable figure for the U.S. population overall is 28
percent.
Several Southeast Asian groups fell behind the overall U.S.
rate for a bachelor's degree or higher. They included Vietnamese
at 26 percent, Cambodian and Hmong at about 14 percent and
Laotian at 12 percent.
Among all groups surveyed, Salvadorans had the lowest
percentage with a bachelor's degree or higher, at 8 percent.

Only 14% for Cambodian living in the US having bachelor or higher. I thought at least 25%
Man, that is very sick and nauseated.
Now can you blame Cambodian government for not providing Education assistance.
Whereas people in the US can get PellGrants, scholarships, state grant and others loans. And 14% Cambodian have college degrees.
Can you say US don't provide education assistance to Cambodian.
I have been through college, I know many assistances programs there for low income people. I did just paid off on 10 years loans with federal subsidized loan programs.
I believe its only 14% because there were not so many Cambodians in the States like Chinese or Vietnamese
