Minister of Education, Youth and Sport Hang Chuon Naron said that nearly 500,000 students have achieved improved academic results due to the positive impacts of the implementation of the five year plan of the Secondary Education Improvement Project (SEIP), which began in 2017 and ended this year. Speaking at the July 29 SEIP closing ceremony at the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP), he said hat through this project 300 to 600 school principals and 2,134 teachers have all received additional training as educators and it had positively impacted up to 700 schools and nearly half a million students resulting in improved academic results. “The ultimate purpose of this project is to transform it from a project to improve secondary education into a mechanism for reforming the entire education sector at the school level and adopt other reform mechanisms such as improving schools and the education system,” he said. Lor Chhorvanna, project manager of SEIP, said that the project has been implemented over the past five years and it spent about $40 million, starting from July 6, 2017 until July 29. Chhorvanna said that the project had selected 100 target schools located in 67 districts nationwide. “The five-year implementation’s results were predicted to have 20,000 students as beneficiaries, but the actual results saw over 450,000 benefit or an increase of 20 times the expected results,” he said.
