More than 8,000 students from 33 target schools in three districts of Kampong Cham province are enjoying breakfast at their schools again this year after a Covid-19 hiatus.
The Ministry of Rural Development has laid out the second phase of plans to reach Open Defecation Free (ODF) status in five provinces by 2023, with ODF hoped to be fully achieved in Cambodia by 2025.
Plan International Cambodia assisted with the construction of the new Kaing Cham Secondary School located in a remote area in Kaing Cham commune of Stung Treng province’s Thala Barivat district in order to ease difficulties for students in attending school after their primary years.
Plan International Cambodia will provide vocational training to 250 youths who have dropped out of school this year after training 200 people in Siem Reap and Ratanakkiri provinces last year. The training will be conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training and other relevant institutions.
The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport will hold a five-day workshop on the topic of “online sexual exploitation of children in Cambodia” next week to raise awareness of the risks the internet poses to children.
