Teacher Training for Phonics-Based Literacy
Many schools in Cambodia want to teach English well, but teachers often lack phonics training, clear resources, and ongoing support. Our project aims to change that.
The Project
What We Do
We provide a complete 4-year phonics-based literacy curriculum, practical video training, and monthly support that teachers can use immediately.
Everything is designed with local needs and low-resource classrooms in mind and delivered in partnership with Khmer educators.
IMPACT
How Our Model Works
We've created a simple, sustainable way to improve English phonics-based literacy teaching in Cambodian public schools and NGOs.
- We test every lesson in real Cambodian classrooms.
- Our Khmer coordinator and trainers support teachers and schools directly.
- Our UK team develops the curriculum, videos, and training system.
- Schools receive the curriculum and all core teaching materials free of charge.
Opportunity
Where The Project Started
Our first pilot began at Ban Nature School, a small community school in rural Siem Reap.
Seeing the children’s progress — and the difference clear phonics made — shaped the full five-year pathway now being offered nationwide.
Expansion
Where The Project Is Going
Over the next five years, we aim to bring structured phonics training to 62 schools, build a Khmer-led training team, and make it easier for teachers across Cambodia to teach English with confidence and clarity.
