Mr. Vichhay, IT teacher said “it will be easy to teach the students and more effective, as they now can engage in practical, hands-on learning. In the past, we had to study the theoretical lessons due to the school’s lack of computers and essential learning tools. As a teacher, I fully commit to provide a thorough guidance and consistent training to ensure that every student can use the computers proficiently. I will also strive to integrate these digital tools into daily lessons to enhance their understanding and practical skills, ultimately contributing to improved learning outcomes and better preparation for future academic and professional endeavours”

We are eager to study diligently and make the most of these resources, viewing them as a valuable investment in our personal and professional development. These computers will help us build confidence, improve our digital literacy, and prepare us for future challenges in the workforce. We are motivated to apply the knowledge and skills we gain to achieve better opportunities, contribute positively to our community, and make the most of the support and generosity provided by our donors.”
