The focus of Elma School Cambodia is ‘free education for all’ as the founder recognised the vital role education plays in helping break the cycle of poverty. Most families in Elma School Cambodia’s target areas cannot afford English school fees, books or uniforms. Many children are needed at home to mind younger siblings while their parent/s work, or are even required to work themselves to support the family.
All students at Elma School Cambodia live in difficult family situations, facing shortages of the basics, such as food, clothing, shelter and transportation. ELMA School Cambodia school offers free education to all, providing uniforms, school bags and all resources necessary for their education. Elma school has two government school around in Elma school complex from year by year many students come to study at Elma school and graduated from school and get new students enrolled for new academic year. two government school students around 1500 students are studying from kindergarten to secondary school. So that Elma school ply role important to contribute to help poor rural students come to study English free and quality and good moral.
Our teachers conduct daily classes, each class consisting of about 30 students. The school is upgrading its curriculum model so that more students will have access to the full formal Khmer curriculum, as well as English, computer, music and dance classes.
Many poor families in Cambodia earn less than US$100 a month, so although the parents know that education is the ‘key’ to lifting the family out of poverty, priorities such as food and shelter take precedence and education is often out of their reach.
Siem Reap City is a major tourist destination, attracting nearly three million visitors yearly. English competency increases the students’ employment opportunities. Few government schools provide this service and private schools charge high fees, which most Cambodian families cannot afford.
At Elma Cambodia we provide the Khmer formal government curriculum from pre-school to grade 4. Many students in this program as well as others who attend government schools, also attend our English, creative development and life skills classes,
Elma Cambodia’s school and programs are only able to operate thanks to the generous donations of sponsors.
