Twenty-five instructors/teachers from our school received their certificates from His Excellency Sabaong Sarat (governor of Sihanoukville). Mr. Keo Lay from the Ministry of Education Youth & Sports confirmed their worthiness after the teachers underwent a month-long training seminar given by the same Ministry (MOEYS). The two-hours a day hectic grind upgraded their knowledge on pedagogical skills and at the same time increased their awareness on the teacher's code of ethics.
There is a Cambodian saying which goes: "Jeh min chneah jong" (skill cannot defeat will). I believe that if we are experts in teaching only skills, then we will produce a generation of experts without a conscience - productive hands without a compassionate heart. True success is when our knowledge and skills are tempered by our right attitudes and values.
