Project Period: Phase 1: 2008 – 2019
Trainees from the provinces of Preah Vihear, Stung Treng, Mondulkiri, Ratanakiri, and Koh Kong, which are bordering provinces without teacher training schools, had to undergo two years of training while living in dormitories at the Phnom Penh Secondary Teacher Training College (RTTC) and the Primary Teacher Training College (MTTC). This project was initiated with the aim of improving the quality of primary and secondary education in rural areas through human resource development.
1) Livelihood support and textbook support
To provide a scholarship of $15 per month per student to reduce the burden of part-time job to raise living expenses and concentrate on study.
2) Angkor Wat Training
To support a 4-day/3-night study tour to Siem Reap to learn about the history and heritage of the country at the World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat in order to pass on the pride of the Khmer people to their children as future teachers.
