CPI's Theory of Change
- The Cambodia Project believes if rural, secondary school age children
have access to high quality educational resources and better trained
teachers, then they will have greater job and higher educational
opportunities which, in turn, will stimulate both economic and
community development.
Encouraged
by the support of local governments, The Cambodia Project works in collaboration
with communities to provide innovative and replicable school models,
high quality transformative educational resources, and better trained
teachers in both the public and private education systems that ultimately offer students increased opportunity.
In addition to an excellent standard of education, we offer comprehensive healthcare programs and green technology for school construction and maintenance. Based on this model, each school will become financially self-reliant and locally
managed after year four.
CPI is committed to building secondary schools in Kep municipality and
Kampot province, three hours drive south of the capital Phnom Penh. We will provide secondary-level education opportunities and inclusive
development programs that would not otherwise be available to children in
these rural areas.
Inclusive education is founded
on the idea of education that is accessible to any individual regardless of
gender, ethnicity, religion, or disability.
CPI will employ
educators from a pool of qualified public school teachers in the region and recruit
new graduates from the local teacher training colleges, providing employment
opportunities in an otherwise narrow job market. One-third of teachers will be hired
part-time from neighboring public schools to supplement their income. Leadership training and teacher professional development programs will be conducted in order to enhance the long-term impact of CPI
employees on its students and the surrounding community.
