The VVOB Education Program operated in Cambodia from 2008-2013 through its SEAL Program. The SEAL Program aimed to improve pre-service teacher training for science, environmental, and agricultural life skills education at Teacher Training Colleges. Specifically, the program worked to enhance the methodology and subject knowledge training for physics, biology, earth science, and chemistry. It targeted reforms at both the student teacher and teacher trainer levels across primary and secondary schools. Key results included developing new learner-centered teaching materials, establishing science labs and resource centers, and revising teacher training curricula.

Editor's Notes
- #10: The programme continues on the basis of the projects from the 2004-2009 period.Capacity building at the meso-level (regional teacher training colleges) is the way to improve the quality of education and training in selected fields.Regional teacher training colleges train future lower secondary school teachers. RTTC Kandal has approx. 400 students of whom approx. 120 study a science subject.
- #14: In Cambodia earth science is a different subject from geography. Earth science comprises cosmography, meteorology, geology, geomorphology and some elements of enviromental science.
- #16: Teachers from practice schools
- #17: See separate hand-outs
