#Non formal education in cambodia how to
One of our key priorities is to include health, nutrition and life skills in the curriculum, so that adolescents can learn how to become healthy, capable and responsible adults. We help the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport in its efforts to revise the national curriculum, including the syllabus, learning standards, teacher training and textbooks, so that 21 st century skills are integrated into the Cambodian education system.
We also advocate positive parenting in communities. Our mobilization campaigns and training promote positive discipline in the classroom without the use of corporal punishment and we encourage school leaders and teachers to replace violence with positive reinforcement. We advocate for financial investment that allows for better training for teachers, from early childhood through to secondary education. With the government and other partners, we work to improve the quality of education so that Cambodian children can embark on a life-long learning journey. Specifically, we support the government to provide: scholarships for children of poor households, so they can stay in school instead of dropping out to go to work access to quality early childhood education services, especially in rural and remote areas accessible school facilities for girls and boys, with and without disabilities schools with adequate water and sanitation facilities, so children don’t get sick from contaminated water or lack of hygiene, and adolescent girls don’t drop out because they cannot manage menstruation hygienically at school qualified multilingual teachers for ethnic minority students, particularly in the north-eastern provinces and skilled teachers to teach children with disabilities. This means tackling the barriers that keep children away from school, such as poverty, remoteness, stigma and discrimination. UNICEF works with the government and other partners to give all children equitable and inclusive access to education. Girls and boys from disadvantaged groups are struggling to realize their potential as they face difficulties getting to, and staying in, school. Most children drop out before reaching secondary school. Overall, large numbers of girls and boys remain out of school at all levels of education, from early childhood through to adolescence. Education is an investment in the future of children and of nations. Many parents cannot understand the value of education and most cannot afford to send their children to school, particularly in rural and deprived areas. Children with disabilities still experience discrimination.
Violence is a problem in schools, with teachers using corporal punishment. There is a lack of basic infrastructure, such as water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities, which particularly impacts adolescent girls and children with disabilities. There are not enough qualified teachers, and the quality of learning environments is poor. Inadequate learning in the early years of life, coupled with insufficient nutrition, leaves children developmentally behind. This eventually leads to many of them dropping out altogether. Cambodian children continue to fall behind in school for a number of reasons, including not being adequately prepared for school, experiencing poor quality teaching and learning, and attending school irregularly.
