As the 32nd SEA Games – being hosted by Cambodia for the first time in the event’s 64-year history – draws to a close on May 17, Prime Minister Hun Sen extends his thanks to all those involved in the regional biennial multi-sports extravaganza.
Through its General Education Improvement Project (GEIP), the World Bank has implemented 1,700 general education improvements from kindergarten to secondary school, benefiting about 800,000 students.
Prime Minister Hun Sen suggested that new schools are built along with accommodation for teachers, and that provincial governors and donors pay close attention to the construction of dormitories to attract outstanding teachers. Hun Sen made the call while addressing an April 25 graduation ceremony for over 2,000 trainee teachers at the National Institute of Education.
Minister of Education, Youth and Sport Hang Chuon Naron and Shi Zhongjun, secretary-general of the ASEAN-China Centre (ACC), met on April 20 to discuss a variety of topics surrounding cooperation in the education sector.
The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport has highlighted the results of its sweeping sporting sector reforms of the past decade, noting that Cambodian athletes had recorded remarkable international success.
