Maybe there’s hope for education in the kingdom

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Maybe there’s hope for education in the kingdom

I know that there are quite a few different views on the topic of education within the country. From my perspective as a parent, I see little real hope in the short term. But then I stumbled across this article (albeit, in the KT), and there are several sentiments raised in there which I know have been brought up in conversation previously. Some relating to the general, broader work ethic, and attitudes towards continued improvement.
If we want children to be at school on time and respect schedules, teachers must be responsible and punctual in their roles, such as during the morning shift, teachers must arrive at school 15 minutes early and leave 15 minutes after the students’ departure time,
Teachers must take turns to have teaching presentations once a week with the goal of educating one another, so they will learn teaching techniques, strategies, and moral instruction to students because some teachers lack the proper training and skills

Granted, this chap has been chipping away for a few decades….

Wise words and good intentions.... No shortage of those in the KoW.

Now the accompanying action. I have worked in public education in 2009-2011 and it's shocking to see how little it has improved in over a decade.
