Expanding the Opportunity for Education

By Chris Coats | Executive Director

Through the gracious and generous investment of donors in 2023 and 2024, Trailblazer was able to construct two school buildings to further meet the educational needs of students in rural Siem Reap province. This report is specifically about the school for Kok Chan Primary School.

The construction of a new school building was needed in Kok Ta Chan village, Ampil commune, Prasad Bakong district to provide and extend a safe place for the students to study, accommodate Computer Science education, and for teachers to teach. 

The location of this school is less than a one hour drive away from Siem Reap city. There are five villages that send their students to study at the Kok Chan Primary School: Prey Kuy, Kork Chan, Thnal Ba, Bos Thom, and Trach Chrum.

There are 14 teachers [11 females] who teach the 328 students [grades K through 6 - with 156 being female] at the Kok Chan Primary School. In order to accommodate all the students they were studying in two shifts, morning and afternoon classes.

However, three of the indoor classrooms were being used for computer science, making a shortage of regular study classrooms, forcing students to study in three of the six classrooms in the concrete building and an open air canteen to accommodate all their regular studies. Therefore, the government requested the construction of another concrete building of six classrooms so all students will have safe school buildings with enough classrooms to accommodate their regular studies and computer science education.

With the additional school building, the school experienced an increase of 88 students [43 females] in the 2024 academic year, making two more classes of students for a total of 416 students. Because there is now sufficent space, all the students study in the morning class shift only. The old building is being used for the three computer classes because the computers and accessories are installed permanently in those rooms.

This project was designed primarily to benefit the children of Kok Chan village for their primary education, as well as those students who attend school from the five surrounding villages. Indirectly though, all villagers will benefit by having safe buildings in which to conduct community engagements, as well as, a greater number of the children and their families across the area.

We wish to thank these donors for investing in the education of rural students which will provide them with the knowledge and skills they will need to be successful and find employment, and ultimately reduce their level of poverty.
