EMCAST Conference Propels Teacher Development and STEM Education into New Horizons in Cambodia

ខែ​ឧសភា 31, 2024

EMCAST organized a conference attended by 500 educators, presided over by KOICA director, Secretary of State H.E. Om Romny, H.E. Im Koch, and EMCAST CEO.

The EMCAST Conference held in Phnom Penh on December 20, 2023, represented a pivotal moment in the evolution of continuing professional development (CPD) of teachers and STEM education in Cambodia. The conference focused on showcasing the achievements of the EMCAST STTC CPD program, which specifically targets secondary school teachers in collaboration with KOICA and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport with the support of NGPRC.

Aligned with Cambodia’s Education 2030 initiative, the EMCAST STTC CPD program has been operated to equip teachers with the tools and knowledge to guide students in acquiring transformative competencies essential for shaping the future in the 21st century. 

The conference shared the program’s achievements with over 500 participants, highlighting the impact of transforming teachers’ mindsets and encouraging voluntary movement towards lifelong professional development activities among teachers.

Throughout 2023, 502 secondary school teachers from 68 schools across 22 provinces participated in the CPD program. Notably, 250 teachers received certification as STEM Ambassador teachers. These STEM Ambassador teachers not only implemented competence-based learning in their classrooms but also took the initiative to organize teacher communities for CPD activities with peer teachers in school. 

A secondary school teacher from Samlout High School, Battambang, shared motivation and experience in voluntarily participating in EMCAST STTC CPD activities.

At the conference,  EMCAST expressed its aspiration that the event would spark collaborative initiatives among education stakeholders, fostering positive transformations in teachers’ CPD and school learning for the sustainable development of communities and the country. Jung-woung Kim, the CEO of EMCAST, said that in 2024 along with KOICA and MOEYS, the EMCAST STTC CPD is expected to expand to more provinces, supporting STEM Ambassador teachers in implementing student-centered learning and fostering a culture of lifelong professional development of teachers.

 

Teachers from Hun Sen Skun High School, Kampong Cham, explained competence-based learning in the classroom to H.E. Om Romny, Secretary of State of MOEYS.
