The Evening School teaches English to children from Chumkriel and neighbouring areas. It follows the Smart Phonics, Headway and Our World curricula, complemented by a weekly reading program. A knowledge of English improves the prospects of these children finding a job or continuing their education.
Thirteen teachers give lessons to over 500 students in evening classes from Monday to Friday. The classes cost just 2,400 riel (US$6) per month, and are free for the poorest students.
- Students are assessed and grouped based on ability, and are regularly tested to monitor their progress.
- Teachers receive training from qualified and experienced volunteers.
- Appropriate resources and teaching aids are used widely in lessons.
- Students who miss too many classes are followed-up, with home visits if warranted.
Support a child to learn English for just US$70 per year.
