The government of Japan has provided a total of US$134,920 in grant to the Association of School Aid in Cambodia (ASAC) for the construction of school buildings for Hun Sen Trauy Koh Lower Secondary School in Kampot province. The grant contract was signed here yesterday by Japanese Ambassador to Cambodia H.E. Kuroki Masafumi and ASAC Chief Managing Director Ms. Watana Be Shigeko.
On the occasion, H.E. Kuroki Masafumi said that the Royal Government of Cambodia has been giving priority to capacity building and education. The Royal Government of Japan has thus supported the educational infrastructure construction and helped build science laboratory buildings in different pedagogy centers and strengthen teachers’ capacity building in Cambodia, he said.
The Japanese ambassador hoped that through this project, the ties of friendship between the Japanese and Cambodian peoples will be further fostered.
Some 585 students in Trauy Sla Lower Secondary School will benefit from a better education environment, he said.
For her part, Ms. Watana Be Shigeko said that ASAC, established since 16 years ago, has so far built 172 school buildings of 851 classrooms across Cambodia. –AKP
