AKP Phnom Penh, September 25, 2025 -- Fifty (50) participants—including secondary school teachers of Khmer, mathematics, and science from nine provinces, along with Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports’ officials responsible for curriculum and teacher training are taking part in a nine-day training programme in Phnom Penh.
 
This training programme was conducted from Sept. 17-25, 2025 by the Government of the Republic of Korea, through the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE), in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. 

Ms. Sejin Lee, Deputy Country Director of KOICA Cambodia Office, said this training is not only about strengthening assessment techniques, but also about introducing innovation. “By combining curriculum-based evaluation with tools like AI, we hope to empower Cambodian teachers to improve learning outcomes in tangible ways,” she added.

By the end of the programme, participants will present Action Plans outlining how to apply the skills and tools they have learned in their respective institutions. The outcomes are expected to contribute to improving national student achievement monitoring and to advancing the goals of Cambodia’s Education Strategic Plan.

This initiative reflects the Korean Government’s ongoing cooperation with Cambodia in ICT and STEM education.
 
The training is also part of the Korean Government’s Capacity Improvement and Advancement for Tomorrow (CIAT) Programme, which has provided training to more than 4,000 Cambodian officials and professionals since 1994. Through CIAT, Korea continues to support Cambodia in strengthening human resources, enhancing education quality, and building a more resilient and future-ready workforce.
