We want to equip them with the skills and capabilities to chase their dreams.” Commenting on the partnership, Director of the Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports (Bakong District) Mr. Tann Reangsey said: “One thing we (the Ministry) value about working with PeopleStories is our ‘common goal’ which is to help our children gain a better future through education. I really enjoy our open, honest and understanding partnership with Peoplestories." With much excitement Victoria adds, “Smart School Anywhere is bringing education to rural children via a ‘school on wheels!’ that will transform learning from "Chalk & Talk" to "Flick & Click". This deployment of a mobile classroom equipped with digital education capabilities will benefit close to 1,000 children at Rolous Secondary School and Chea Smonn Secondary School.” |

COVID19 and Quality Education
The pandemic has exposed many gaps in our education systems around the world, especially with 51 weeks of school closures in Cambodia since March 2021.
A recent report from United Nations highlighted that 3.2 million students in Cambodia are impacted by COVID19 and 30% of them are unable to continue learning during school closures. Furthermore, 70% of the Camboidan students have no access to online learning. Together with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, PeopleStories is excited to bring Smart School Anhwere to Bakong District Rural Siem Reap starting from 2022. |

From 'Chalk to Talk' to Digital Education
|
In rural Cambodia, technology not only enables better learning experiences, but it can fundamentally transform access to knowledge.
On March 16, 2021, Cambodia has gone into another round of school closures due to the spike in COVID19 cases and many of the students once again are not engaged in learning. One thing we have witnessed is the adaptiveness and resilience of some local teachers in overcoming the challenges that school closures brought to their education eco-system. PeopleStories won’t be successful on this important journey of transforming rural education from “Chalk & Talk” to Digital without the collaboration from good partners. Drop us an email at team@peoplestories.net if you are interested to collaborate to make a difference to the many lives of the children in Cambodia. |
