The 'Interactive Teacher Training in Siem Reap' was formed in response to the low-quality teaching methodology in poor rural communities around Siem Reap. Here teachers from marginalized communities come together to learn quality teaching techniques, these teachers then spread their skills and knowledge within their remote community schools to the children. These students then have a chance to move away from potential dangers of human trafficking, sexual exploitation and human slave labour.
The project was developed in response to the need identified by various NGOs who work to improve learning outcomes for youths by supplementing government education with additional classes in English and other subjects. Due to the poor quality of education and the lack of qualified teachers in Cambodia, kind-hearted teachers, who often have not received any training or higher education themselves, take over or contribute to the education of their village children in rural non-government schools.
We train the teachers to implement quality teaching techniques in their classrooms and a sustainable outcome focus. These teachers then spread their skills and knowledge within their remote community schools to the children. Therefore these students have the chance to move away from the potential danger of human trafficking, sexual exploitation and human slave labour. As the students learn quicker, more effectively and with more interest, they have better chances and choices in the workforce.
Hands Across the World believes the best way to eradicate all exploitation, is by preparing the next generations of Cambodians with a more sustainable future. Education is a major key in this process. After completing our pilot Interactive Teacher Training Siem Reap, we know that our program has the following reach within the communities:- Trainees 20 Students of trainees 1,200 Indirect - Trainees cascade to other teachers 5 Indirect - Students of other teachers trained 300 Total 1,525
