Kandal Province: On July 4, 2026, Prek Dambang Lower Secondary School, located in Muk Kampul District, hosted its Annual Student Achievement Exhibition, that participated by 312 students and parents. The event featured remarks from Mr. Hin Simhuon, Vice Director of KAPE (Kampuchea Action to Promote Education). The exhibition was organized with the support of the "Improving Digital Education for All Learners (IDEAL)" project, which receives financial support from ChorogUsan for children in Korea and is directly implemented by KAPE.
Prek Dambang Lower Secondary School is one of the 12 target schools receiving intervention from the IDEAL project through the improvement of its library, computer lab, internet connection, and the provision of modern technological equipment. This equipment includes 7 laptops, 7 LCD projectors, 1 smart TV, 25 computer desktops and 25 tablets. In addition to the physical supplies, teachers, librarians, and the school management committee received training on digital skills, library management, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support teaching.
Following the comprehensive intervention and support from the project, the Students Achievement Exhibition clearly demonstrated the achievements and creativity of the students who had studied and explored diligently throughout the year. During the event, there was an outstanding showcase of accomplishments from the school's 8 study clubs. For the Home Economics Club, students demonstrated practical skills in culinary creativity and home organization, while the Biology Club and Agriculture Club presented their work on plant cultivation as well as various experiments connecting scientific theories to practical agriculture. Meanwhile, the History Club and Khmer Language Club prepared research documents, posters, and document copies highlighting literary values and national historical events. Most notably, the ICT Club, English Language Club, and Mathematics Club attracted significant attention by showcasing their capacity to use digital materials and technologies gained from the project to solve complex problems, research lessons in foreign languages, and proficiently operate various computer programs.
Mr. Hin Simhuon stated that "In this era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the use of ICT and digital technologies, especially AI, in education is absolutely crucial for promoting and enhancing digital education and STEM education to contribute significantly to responding to the policies and directions of Cambodia's digital economy in the future."
This meaningful exhibition was not merely a showcase of student work; it also provided a valuable opportunity for teachers and students to share new experiences related to the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), study clubs, and digital learning. More importantly, parents who attended the event were able to witness and learn from their children's achievements. This serves as a vital foundation in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) to promote digital and STEM education, responding to Cambodia's future digital economy goals while providing high potential for students' continued education, skill development, and future employment opportunities.
