Speaker
Description
This poster session explores the development of Cambodia's education system, particularly since the introduction of the New Generation Schools (NGS) program in 2015. Led by the Ministry of Education, the NGS program aims to reform the system, enhance educational quality, and modernize teaching and learning through innovative school programs.
Using a desk review methodology, this poster will delve into the program's activities, achievements, and ongoing challenges. By attending, participants will gain valuable insights into the Ministry of Education's efforts to improve education through the NGS program. While initially receiving government support, NGS schools have actively sought to build trust with parents to ensure long-term sustainability after three years of operation. A key distinction between NGS and traditional public schools lies in their program duration. NGS schools offer full-day programs, unlike the half-day schedule in standard public schools. This interactive session will showcase the practical experiences of NGS schools that have been operating since 2015. Participants will learn from four Cambodian NGS schools and gain valuable knowledge applicable to their own educational contexts.
