Cambodia is a country in extreme poverty. Thus, many children are taken out of school to work at an early age. Over 70% of Siem Reap's population has not completed a primary education. Drop-out and repeat rates at all levels are high. Only 18% of appropriately-aged students are enrolled in lower secondary school and only 8% are enrolled in upper secondary school.
In the villages we visited, we met many bright, highly motivated young people who wanted to become teachers, but who lacked the basic academic preparation to enter a teacher training program.
Teach Cambodia offers a series of courses to assist potential teacher candidates in gaining basic academic competence necessary to become a successful teacher. These include Khmer language study (Khmer grammar, reading and writing), mathematics, and foreign language study.
