Meetings with MoEYS In her role as national coordinator, Ms. Meas Nearyroth (Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia) was responsible for establishing contact and liaising with members of the Departments of Teacher Training, Curriculum Development, and Primary Education about the possibility of the project’s output being adopted as part of MoEYS’ portfolio for the preparation of teacher trainers, teacher trainees and in-service teachers at the primary level..
Building on this, representatives from both universities attended a meeting on 12th April, 2022 at the Ministry of Education Youth and Sports, chaired by His Excellency Dr. Hang Chuon Naron and including the Director General of Education and the Chief Executive Officers of the Departments of Primary Education, Curriculum Development, and Training. The Minister was most supportive, being very encouraging in his response to the various presentations: whilst noting the need to improve on the quality of the Khmer translations in order to be acceptable to the Ministry, he recommended that a trial be run in order to get feedback from practitioners in the field.
