Consultancy to Conduct Training on Classroom Action Research

Announcement Description

Enabling access for children with disabilities to education services, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) had adopted a Policy on Education for Children with Disability in 2008, and implemented Inclusive Education programing in primary education for a decade already; while Inclusive Education in early childhood started only in 2012. In addition, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) established the Special Education Department (SED) in June of 2016 to oversee educational provisions to the most vulnerable children, promote inclusive education, and this was coordinated with the support of NGOs in Cambodia.

In July 2017, Krousar Thmey finalized the transfer of 5 special school for deaf or blind to MoEYS to take over in continuation of running operation, and officially in 2019 those schools have been transferred completely under MoEYS, and at the same time, set up the National Institute for Special Education (NISE). NISE’s main mission was to provide Special Education training to teachers in the country.

Fulfilling its mandates SED in collaboration with other relevant departments, with financial support from UNICEF, revised the Policy on Education for Children with Disability and had it approved in 2018 as “Policy on Inclusive Education”.

NISE plays a vital role in human resource development (special educators or special teachers) to support the implementation of the policy and its soon-to-be approved Action Plan. Therefore, this institution urgently needs to have its own medium and long term strategies in line with the Policy and Action Plan for improving education services for children with disabilities, preferably inclusive education.

As a part of finalizing this school transfer, Krousar Thmey is working in close collaboration with NISE in aspect of Special and Inclusive Education, support capacity building to NISE team.
