Enhance 400 Cambodians' lives through Education

During the hard time, Covid-19, every child does not access to school and does not have classroom learning. The same as our school is asked to closed for many months. This affects children’s education. Our school improves school facilities for online classes to keep children learning from home. For example, for the last three months, we launched online learning in our school. The majority can continue their study with us before our government allowed all schools to reopen their courses, pleased read more how teachers and students can benefit their teaching and learning.

Online learning

In the last three months, we set up our computers and internet connection for online classes at our school. Our teachers and students are trained to online applications for their teaching and learning access. Teachers learnt about how to set up zoom and host their classes online while students get support from our teachers and school to set up the zoom call application at home and at school. They are also trained how to use zoom meeting with key features and menu on the application.

Furthermore, teachers and students are very happy to see one another. The students are exciting to see their friends and classmates on zoom even though they never meet face to face for a few months.  They also learnt about how to be on time because they have to be on the zoom when the class started.

Thida, one of students expresses her feeling about online learning with jour teachers. “Hello! I am Thida. I never use IT stuff before and I never study online. I am very happy to study online with zoom and telegram. I can gain my knowledge and language skills even though the school or classroom learning are closed at my school. I learnt that online courses can keep me learning.

Heng, one of our students express his feeling about online courses. “Hello, I am Heng. I want to tell about my online class. I can remember what I learnt before covid-19 with my teacher, it can help me to continue my new lessons and I can gain knowledge both English skills and ITC skills. I know how to use zoom app. I know how to use features, stop, mute and speak on zoom. Furthermore, I am very exciting and happy to see my friends and learnt how to make a conversation on zoom.

Offline Learning

However, online learning can benefit for some students but some students do not have smartphone or computers. So they cannot join online classes. To keep our children learning, our school offers offline learning means students come to get worksheet for their lessons at our school two times per weeks. Teachers explain and teach them individually for about 15min and then they can bring their worksheets home. They can learn more from worksheet at home because we avoid a group learning to prevent covid 19 infection. They are very happy to get their worksheet and learn more.

In the next three months, we will apply for reopening our school with the government. We will organize and clean our school, classrooms, chairs, tables and other facilities in our school for incoming classroom learning.

We would like to thanks everyone who supported us through GlobalGiving with your hard-earning money. Width your help we hope to continue and build upon the success of our non-formal education program.

We wish you happy New Year, every success, happiness and enjoy it with your family and friends!

Warmest regards, 

The Salariin Kampuchea Team
