Rotary helps train teachers in Cambodia.
Ocean Grove and Highton Rotary are funding two students to complete their training to become schoolteachers. Phenom Penh Rotary have a partnership with Promoting Education, Empowerment and Equality in Cambodia (PEPY) to provide scholarships for teachers. PEPY is a non-profit organisation providing personal and professional skills development training to rural youth primarily based in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia
The scholarships will fund the teachers’ final year of study and early career. The recipients will teach school in a Cambodian rural community. These recipients are currently enrolled at the Battambang Teacher Training College and are planning to teach secondary school.
