Schools for Children of Cambodia (“SCC”) is committed to improving the quality of basic education and exemplifying honesty and transparency in all that we do. To maximise our impact, we seek to adopt schools that share our values and are willing to work together with us to meet common goals.

Following a change in management at Lolei Primary School (“Lolei”) in October 2007, repeated events at the school have demonstrated that the new education providers do not share SCC's aims & values.

To inspire change, SCC undertook repeated coaching of the school management and staff along with repeated discussions with the local community. However, these differences have continued and have severely limited progress at the school. Accordingly, SCC has withdrawn its support of Lolei as of March 1, 2008. 

The parties have agreed that the Lolei staff and local community may reconsider their position and apply for SCC support for the new 2008/09 school year.

SCC will reallocate its resources to support other schools that do share our aims & values.

SCC adopted Lolei Primary School in 2003. SCC support over the last five years has included reconstruction of three classrooms; provision of a mobile library, teaching and learning supplies; extracurricular classes, including English language and traditional Khmer dance; and monthly teacher salary supplements which successfully eliminated informal school fees. SCC support has facilitated the addition of grades 4-6 and an increase in enrollment from 150 students in 2003 to 292 students in 2007.
