What does it take to prepare the next generation of teachers?
It takes more than training. It requires strong institutions, practical collaboration, and a shared commitment to continuous improvement.
On 10 July 2026, the management and technical teams from TDSO, Siem Reap Provincial Teacher Training Centre (PTTC-SR), and the Practice School met to reflect on our collaboration and identify priority areas where TDSO can continue contributing technical expertise to support PTTC’s continued development as a Model Teacher Training Centre.
The discussion focused on strengthening teacher education through several key areas of collaboration:
– Continuing to deliver English teaching methodology training for new PTTC teacher trainees.
– Supporting the Practice School in strengthening English teaching to align with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport’s Model School requirements.
– Working with PTTC’s technical team to strengthen quality assurance through the co-development of English language assessment tools, along with other technical resources for teacher trainees.
– Providing technical expertise and learning materials that complement PTTC’s institutional development.
– Establishing a follow-up support mechanism for PTTC graduates as they begin their teaching careers, helping bridge pre-service preparation with classroom practice.
As Cambodia continues strengthening its teacher education system, TDSO remains committed to working alongside PTTC-SR to improve the quality of pre-service teacher education, support institutional development, and contribute to better learning outcomes for future generations.
