The Model Principal of Lboeuk Rangsey Primary School

The video highlights the leadership, achievements, and challenges of a dedicated principal at Lboeuk Rangsey Primary School, which serves three local villages.

• Leadership Style: Having transitioned from a long-time classroom teacher to a principal in 2019, he practices an empathetic, relationship-based leadership style (using emotion and personal connection rather than rigid legal enforcement).

• "Show Your Face" Presence: He deeply believes in being physically present and leading by example in every school activity—from administrative duties to physical construction like paving concrete roads.

• Community Engagement: He successfully shifted the local community's negative perception of the school by openly presenting the school's financial challenges and resource shortages. This transparency inspired parents and community members to actively volunteer their time, funds, and labor to develop the school environment (such as building gardens, handwashing stations, and a symbolic heart monument).

• Technical & Educational Growth: With the support of partner organizations (like KAPE), the school has heavily improved its teaching methods. They implemented targeted remedial classes that helped slow-learning students in grades 4-6 successfully learn to read and write within two months, dropping the student dropout/failure rate significantly.

• Future Requests: The principal and teachers express a strong desire for the Ministry of Education and partners to provide further professional training in modern digital technologies (including AI tools like ChatGPT) and standard school indicators. They also request more classroom buildings, infrastructure upgrades, and digital tools like tablets and smart TVs for classroom learning.
