About The Project
Cambodian schools are seeking individuals with a passion for English language learning to prepare students in grades 4-12 for academic and professional success.
English language skills are highly valued by employers across Cambodia, especially international business, international development, and tourism. To prepare students for these opportunities, Cambodia is modernizing its education system by strengthening English language instruction and expanding digital literacy. These efforts will also foster a workforce that can support the country’s transition to a digital economy. The Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport (MoEYS) is prioritizing English education. However, many schools continue to face a shortage of qualified English teachers as there are limited resources for recruiting, training, and providing competitive pay for teachers.
