PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project aims to improve the accessibility of quality education and other child rights, for all children in the outreach areas of Battambang Province (specifically Samlout), so that these children have the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

The project will work in partnership with key provincial and district counterparts in Education including the Department of Education (DOE) the Principle Offices of Education (POE), Local Authorities, the Commune Councils (CC), the Commune Council for Women and Children (CCWC), and communities and our funders (EDUCO). 

Expected outcomes:

a) Increased accessibility of Child Friendly Schools (CFS).
b) A sustainable improvement in the quality of teaching
c) A sustainable improvement in the standard of school management
d) Increased child enrolment, attendance and grade progression in school
e) Increased parent, teacher and child capacity to ensure Child Rights (CR)
f) Improved Child Friendly Schools (CFSs) and communities
g) KHEN is able to effectively apply a Rights Based Approach to community development practice.

WHAT PROBLEM / SITUATION DOES THE PROJECT AIM TO ADDRESS

Access to basic (let alone quality) education is still limited in Samlout, a remote district of Battambang and former Khmer Rouge stronghold. Reasons include: poor road infrastructure, landmines, poverty and education & teachers not being valued by the community.

90% of the population rely on farming as their livelihood and live 25-40 km from the district town centres (based on Samlout census 2013). Sending small children to existing state schools is often not safe or appropriate due to distance. In addition there are not enough pre-schools for the Government Early Childhood Education Program and as such the average starting school age is after 6 years old.

Even where communities value education, they have limited resources for classrooms and child friendly schools. The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MOEYS) has recognised this need in the Education Strategic Plan (2014 – 2018) (ESP), but funding for pre-schools and lower primary schools is not sufficient, and responding specifically to the need for access to education for remote areas has also been insufficient. As a result, the right to education for all children in Samlout is not being met (confirmed in the external evaluation).

The impact of this is clear. The majority of adults have received limited education and have low literacy rates. Traditional practices, some of which are contrary to child well-being, prevail. Many adults are not aware of their responsibilities as duty bearers of Child Rights and do not advocate for education as important for escaping poverty. As such their participation in improving access to education including monitoring of attendance and performance of children and teachers, and investing in schools, is also limited.

To be effective, the project must engage the community and the DOE and D&D, as only by working together will we be able to ensure education for all and the respect for the rights of the child.
