Opportunity Case 2: Inclusive and Quality Education


Project Description

The Ponlok Chomnes II program is a four-year program funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through The Asia Foundation's Ponlok Chomnes: Data and Dialogue for Development in Cambodia that aims to promote the normalisation of the use of evidence and inclusive dialogues to inform public policy decision-making. The Ponlok Chomnes II program seeks to address several challenges, including the need to expand the platforms for idea exchange and consultation, the lack of the availability of inclusive, integrated evidence for policy dialogues and development, and the unmet demand from the government and the public for more diverse, locally produced sources of knowledge.

In partnership with TAF, CDRI is working on three Opportunity Cases (OCs): OC1: Climate Change, Livelihood and Migration; OC2: Inclusive and Quality Education; and OC3: Livelihood Resilience in Rural Villages. This collaborative effort involves all stakeholders, making them an integral part of the initiative.

CDRI’s Centre of Educational Research and Innovation is on OC2: Inclusive and Quality Education, in which the research team aims to conduct a research study to investigate STEM teachers' continuous professional development in Cambodia. 


Project Objective
  • To contribute to MoEYS’s Teacher Policy Action Plan (2024-2030), Teacher Career Pathway Framework, and Teachers Continuous Professional Development Framework.
  • To delve into the practice of in-service teacher training (INSET) at the Cambodian upper-secondary school level, examining how science teachers practice their continuous professional development (CPD) and how they apply the new knowledge in their daily teaching.
