Programme 362, Education in Cambodia (17-4-19)

Presented and produced by Seán Delaney

Theme tune by David Vesey

This week on the programme I speak to Colm Byrne who graduated as a primary teacher from Marino Institute of Education in 2003 and two colleagues Sophen and Sowuen from Cambodia about education in Cambodia. They all work for the non governmental organisation See Beyond Borders. Among the topics we discuss are the following:

• How Colm Byrne went to live and work in Cambodia
• The state of education in Cambodia
• Why teachers matter more than buildings at this time
• Learning English in Cambodia
• Children dropping out of school after second class
• Support from the INTO, Irish Aid and Horseware
• Horseware
