Situation
Education in Cambodia The Legacy of Civil War: The education system was decimated by the war, with 90% of teachers killed. Learning Poverty: By the age of fifteen, 97% of children are unable to demonstrate proficiency in literacy and maths. Teacher Qualifications: Only 35% of teachers have a formal teaching degree, with most completing only a short two-year course. Leadership Gap: Only 6% of headteachers have received leadership training, creating a barrier to educational advancement.
Solution
We will empower headteachers and teachers from 20 rural primary schools to improve teaching and learning by: 1. Supporting headteachers to create school environments that prioritise teaching and learning. 2. Improving teaching skills in maths and literacy using effective methods tailored to the context to boost children's learning outcomes. 3. Implementing school-based mentoring to support teacher development. 4. Establishing teacher development centres as hubs for educational practice.
