PROJECT CAMBODIA
EDUCATION PROJECT IN CAMBODIA
All children have the right to learn, whatever their circumstances. Adequate support to learning is crucial for them to develop to their full potential. However, in Cambodia many girls and boys are falling behind, particularly those who live in poor rural and urban areas.
Education is an investment in the future of children and of nations.
Overall, large numbers of girls and boys remain out of school at all levels of education, from early childhood through to adolescence. Most children drop out before reaching secondary school. Girls and boys from disadvantaged groups are struggling to realize their potential as they face difficulties getting to, and staying in, school.
Inadequate learning in the early years of life, coupled with insufficient nutrition, leaves children developmentally behind. There are not enough qualified teachers, and the quality of learning environments is poor. There is a lack of basic infrastructure, such as water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities, which particularly impacts adolescent girls and children with disabilities. Violence is a problem in schools, with teachers using corporal punishment. Children with disabilities still experience discrimination. Many parents cannot understand the value of education and most cannot afford to send their children to school, particularly in rural and deprived areas.
Education is critically important to Cambodia’s development. The country’s development strategy focuses on its young, dynamic and mobile population as a major contributor to sustainable development and economic growth. The government continues to allocate substantial public budget to education, and UNICEF is building on current momentum to reform the education sector.
To ensure that every child learns, we focus on equitable and inclusive access to education for children with disabilities, children from ethnic minorities and children living in rural and urban poor areas.
But we know that real progress comes from involving families and communities, which is why we work with local school support committee members to promote education among families, and support communication efforts to improve how parents value education. We do this to stimulate a demand for education so that girls and boys are increasingly nurtured by parents and communities to attend and complete early childhood and basic education.
We are honored to be the chosen as one of among God’s servants to proclaim His great word to all mankind whether Jin or man will eventually build this earth or destroy it. Therefore, every Muslim, whether children, adolescents, or adults, must be nurtured with a strong devotion and trust, that the Quran and its teachings are the only solution for all mankind. It all begins when we read the Quran because it has to be read, remembered, understood and applied in all its commands for our journey into the hereafter.
Ar-Riyaadh will focus on two important programs related to Quranic education:
1. Basic Study Program of Reading the Quran
2. Basic Quranic Skills Training Program (Train the Trainer Program)
