What We Do

At SeeBeyondBorders Ireland, your support allows us to give Cambodian primary school children access to a quality education. Working in partnership with the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport to create systemic change within the public school system, our colleagues bring the UNESCO award-winning Quality Teaching Programme to classrooms in rural Cambodia. This programme unlocks the skills within each teacher, adopts a school-based mentoring approach and leads to more effective teaching and an improvement in children’s learning outcomes. Research is continuously undertaken to ensure the effectiveness of our programmes.

Our focus remains on quality over quantity. Partnerships with communities, school principals, officials from school districts and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, builds trust and commitment in all stakeholders who are fully engaged in achieving positive learning outcomes. Through this process of collaborative engagement within the public school system we can continue to show the Government the benefits of investing in quality learning for children and professional development for teachers alike with an ambition of full adoption into the school system at a future point in time.

With your support, we can bring about Cambodian-led systemic and sustainable educational change and give Cambodian children the quality education they need and the future that they deserve.

Our work focuses on three Sustainable Development Goals:
