Are you waiting for the next EduNetTalk? This July, NEP is bringing you another important discussion that highlights a core issue in Cambodia’s education system—ensuring that every child, including those with disabilities and from ethnic minority communities, has equal access to quality learning. The 59th edition of EduNetTalk will focus on the topic: “What are the key factors that education service providers should have so that all children, especially children with disabilities or ethnic minorities, can study?” The session will be held on Thursday, 31 July 2025, from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM, and will be livestreamed via NEP Cambodia’s Facebook page.
This month’s talk aims to spark conversation around three key objectives. First, it seeks to reaffirm that disability is not a barrier to education. Every child has the right to learn, and the session will examine what conditions must be in place to make this right a reality—such as inclusive teaching practices, accessible learning environments, and culturally responsive support systems. Second, the discussion will explore experiences and active initiatives from both the national and grassroots levels that are working to strengthen education services for children with disabilities and those from ethnic minorities. These efforts range from policy development and teacher training to community engagement and school-level action. Third, the session will highlight the role of local authorities, civil society organizations, and schools in promoting inclusive education that leaves no one behind, in line with Cambodia’s national goals and the global Sustainable Development Agenda.
To provide diverse insights, EduNetTalk #59 will feature a lineup of experienced speakers. Mr. Phon Sophak, Deputy Director of the Department of Non-Formal and Inclusive Education at MoEYS, will share the government’s efforts and strategies in promoting inclusive education nationwide. Mr. Chheng Sokkheng, Principal of Prey Thom Primary School in Kandal province, will discuss school-level actions and challenges faced in ensuring that no child is excluded from learning. Ms. Oeum Rina, Project Officer at AAR Japan, will contribute perspectives from the NGO sector, sharing field-level experiences supporting children in vulnerable situations.
The session will be moderated by Mr. Liv Liming from World Hope International, who will guide the conversation and encourage audience engagement. Viewers are invited to join the livestream, listen to expert perspectives, and pose their own questions in real time. Whether you are an educator, policymaker, NGO staff member, or concerned citizen, this is your chance to be part of a national conversation on how to make Cambodia’s education system more inclusive, equitable, and just.
Mark your calendars and join us online for EduNetTalk #59.
