Annual Parent Show Hosted at Hun Sen Pochentong Lower Secondary School
All these achievements not only demonstrate their understanding of core subjects but also serve as a testament that integrating ICT and digital technology, especially the use of AI in education, has truly provided students with opportunities to gain new experiences related to digital learning. The intervention of the IDEAL project, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Department of Education, has significantly contributed to reforming the education sector and promoting STEM education to respond to the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), as well as preparing Cambodian youth to be fully ready for the future digital economy.
Phnom Penh: On July 1, 2026, Hun Sen Pochentong Lower Secondary School hosted a annual parent show in an atmosphere full of creativity and enthusiasm. The event attracted a massive crowd of up to 1,151 students (571 female students), along with honourable guests such as Mr. Hin Simhuon, Vice Executive Director of KAPE, Mrs. Tea Vannroeung, Chief of Sangkat Kakab 1; Mrs. Chet Sophan, Deputy Chief of the Secondary Education Office; Mr. Khen Sokhann, Deputy Chief of the Office of Education, Youth and Sport of the Khan Pou Sen Chey Administration; Mr. Ouk Chamroeun, Chairman of the School Management Committee; Mrs. Kong, Chief of Paprak Khang Tboung Village; Mr. Um Maly, Principal of Hun Sen Pochentong Lower Secondary School; as well as many teachers and parents. This parent show was organized with support from the "Improving Digital Education for All Learners" (IDEAL) project, funded by ChorogUsan for Children and implemented by Kampuchea Action to Promote Education (KAPE).
This event served as a vital platform to showcase the achievements stemming from the creative ideas of students who have studied hard throughout the year, especially after the school received educational infrastructure improvement interventions from the IDEAL project. Through this project, Hun Sen Pochentong Junior High School received upgrades to its library and computer room, internet connections, and modern technological equipment such as laptops, LCD projectors, a smart TV, and tablets, all of which act as catalysts for rapid educational innovation. This success also stems from the focus on training teachers to manage technological equipment, grasp basic digital literacy, and utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support their teaching.
Reflecting on the outcomes of this new transformation, the achievements of the students in each club are truly admirable and genuinely demonstrate their intellectual growth. Specifically, eight student clubs collaborated to showcase their work, including: the Mathematics Club, Khmer Language Club, English Language Club, Biology and Earth Science Club, Physics and Chemistry Club, History and Geography Club, and the ICT Club, which demonstrated fundamental skills in coding, data management, and the proficient use of computer applications.
Overall, all these achievements not only demonstrate their understanding of core subjects but also serve as a testament that integrating ICT and digital technology, especially the use of AI in education, has truly provided students with opportunities to gain new experiences related to digital learning. The intervention of the IDEAL project, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Department of Education, has significantly contributed to reforming the education sector and promoting STEM education to respond to the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), as well as preparing Cambodian youth to be fully ready for the future digital economy.
