Future outlook

Sharing and utilizing• The website will be utilized at training schools for teachers
across the country (24 schools including two four-yearcolleges established by JICA)
Support for building teaching skills• Some students may not be able to attend school, but theymight be able to use their cellphone for learning…
• Gather 1,000 units of projectors…In collaboration with JapanMy involvement in Edu-Port taught me that…
• Japanese math education is the best in the world in that it encourages students to create and use
learning tools by themselves.

• Teaching practice (6 + 8 weeks) offers a perfect opportunity for experimenting with the use of ICT
teaching materials• It is important to understand the daily lives of the teachers and encourage them until they start toproactively develop their teaching skills• We need to strengthen ties and be creative to be chosen as the preferred partner when there aremany countries offering support.
• Sharing and exchanging things learned in Japan and Cambodia – “Inquiry Based Learning” for highschool students and “Social Studies” for primary school students• Promoting the widespread use of the products of our project: Launch of a digital content website• Completion of ICT training at teacher training universities means to make sure the teachers canactually use ICT for teaching• Things that we must not fail: to sever the path to war and to push forward efforts toward theSustainable Development Goals

Collaborative projects• EDU-Port Projects (2017-2022)• EDU-Port Project adopted for FY2022 “What welearned through the COVID pandemic:
Development of collaborative ICT classes
between Japan and Cambodia”• JICA Partnership Program (Support type) 20222025“Development of regional ICT model schools led
by local teacher training school”
