HCC held a reflection and capacity-building meeting for its pedagogical mentors and quality control staff. The event focused on enhancing digital-era teaching methods across target schools by reviewing previous activities, planning for future quarters, and engaging in collaborative peer work like demonstration lessons and strategy integration. By equipping mentors to better provide hands-on support to teachers, the project aims to build educator confidence and transform classrooms into vibrant environments that boost student engagement and regular attendance. The meeting concluded with a strong commitment from all project officers to successfully execute upcoming action plans and continue elevating the quality of education in Cambodia.
Kampong Cham: On July 2–3, 2026, the Happy Cambodian Children (HCC) project, implemented by KAPE, hosted a reflection and capacity-building meeting for its quality control staff. The meeting aimed to enhance teaching methods for teachers in line with the digital era through the provision of pedagogical mentoring support across all target schools under the project.
The meeting was held at the Thun Than Oubrom (TTO) meeting hall in Kampong Cham Town, with four main objectives:
To reflect on the activities of the project implementation in June and plan for July.
To reflect on the previous implementation of the pedagogical mentoring program across target schools.
To build the capacity of pedagogical mentors regarding teaching techniques.
To present the action plan for implementation in the third and fourth quarters.
During these two meaningful days, Area Coordinators and Project-Based Mentors from all three regions collaborated to present reports, engage in discussions, and learn deeply from one another regarding successes, challenges, and solutions. Furthermore, all of them actively participated in the capacity-building session through peer work, where they selected teaching models, integrated new teaching methods and strategies, conducted demonstration lessons, and provided constructive feedback to further strengthen teaching techniques and effectiveness.
The commitment and firsthand technical support provided by the Project-Based Mentors have strengthened teachers' professional capacities and boosted their confidence to implement changes and innovate new teaching methods aligned with the digital education context. Furthermore, this support has transformed classroom learning environments into more vibrant spaces, which is a key factor in capturing students' interest, improving their focus on learning, and encouraging regular school attendance.
The meeting concluded successfully with a summary and closing remarks by the Project Manager. Meanwhile, all project officers expressed a strong determination to implement the third-quarter and fourth-quarter action plans effectively to achieve excellent results, thereby contributing to the elevation of education quality in Cambodia.
