This research aims to (1) explore the motivations behind the development of TnT and (2) understand the effects on the roles of users. A qualitative method was employed with 25 semi-structured interviews across five provinces. Interviewees ranged from development partners, ministry officials, education administrators, primary school directors, and school support committees. The results showed that the primary goals behind TnT were: accurate textbook forecasting, eliminating inefficiencies; and, promoting transparency and accountability throughout the process. While the Publishing and Distribution House have experienced significant changes in their roles due to TnT, further training and technical support are needed for users, especially school directors, to fully leverage the system\u2019s potential and ensure smooth implementation at the school level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cambodian primary schools often encounter challenges in sourcing textbooks.
