Phnom Penh: The conference on technical training
of physical education and sport teachers was held from 20th
to 22nd March at Sunway Hotel. The event was chaired by H.E
Bun Sok, Secretary of State of Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport
(MoEYS) and attended by officers from JICA, Hearts of Gold and 30 teacher
trainees. Mr. Prum Bunyi, Director of the Department of Physical Education
for Students and Sport (DPESS) said that the seminar was aimed at making
a physical education textbook and curriculum for primary school. The objective
of the seminar was to train existing physical education and sport teachers
within the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and related departments,
to make a P.E. textbook to be distributed to primary school around the
country in order for technical standards to be correctly implemented.
He added that the Department of Physical Education for Student and Sport
was also going to add sport into the curriculum in various schools in
Cambodia.
H.E Bun Sok mentioned that the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport
was trying to negotiate with international organisations and donor countries
to assist in the promotion of the physical education sector. He noted
that the DPESS has had a duty to implement physical education at schools
with all teacher trainees knowing that physical education is worthy
in spirit and that sport is part of the activities that assist in developing
the country.
He added that in 1985, MoEYS included physical education and sport into
the study and Ministry curriculum but this was unsuccessful at that
time. In 1994, MoEYS then established a coalition committee to discuss
and prepare the physical education textbook but there was no budget
available to publish the book. H.E. Bun Sok not only expressed his thanks
to JICA, which now supports the project, but also Hearts of Gold which
is implementing the project. MoEYS and JICA have now signed a 2 year
agreement which will realize the book with cooperation between DPESS
and Hearts of Gold.
He stated that the project has already started and that he hoped the
3 days conference of all of trainees would be beneficial as participants
would be able to study with Japanese experts.
