The primary object of our organization is to increase the opportunities of the young people in this rural area of Cambodia by providing a sound basis of English education to compliment the standard education received from Government school. It is hoped that by offering this additional English curriculum the parents will be influenced to allow their children to continue education beyond primary level (grades 1 – 6). At present many children leave school prematurely or abandon school altogether. Our  NGO schooling is complementary to the Cambodian national strategic development plan for general education in rural areas. It is stressed that the education provided by MHV Cambodia is not considered as a replacement for the general education provided by the local school nor will it be contrary to any of the cultural or religious values held by the students and/or their parents.

We feel that a quality and comprehensive early learner programme in English is an important motivator for the children who show a great willingness to learn.

At present we have 4 classrooms with 4 Cambodian teachers and 1 teaching assistant giving English lessons to 260 students during  day and evening classes. 

Owing to the structure of government school we hold classes in the morning and in the afternoon (daily total of six classes of 30 students).

Those students that attend Public school in the afternoon take English class in the morning. Classes start at 8am until 11am. Those students attending Public school in the morning attend English classes in the afternoon between 2pm and 5pm.

Each course of learning  covers a 12 month period of 3 semesters, each of 4 months duration. The course is based upon English learning syllabuses’ such as the “New Headway” series supported with individual lesson plans made by the teachers. The teaching staff motivate the students using interesting and fun techniques, together with regular testing. Small educational prizes are considered as a reward for good work at end of term exams .
