Mr. Simon Franks, Director of the Franks Family Foundation meets with H.E. Dr. Hang Chuon Naron, Minister of Education, Youth, and Sport (Cambodia) to discuss a common vision for New Generation Schools,which is a new reform initiative of the Ministry. The NGS initiative was started by KAPE as a pilot and has been adopted by Ministry for broad replication in areas where there is the human resource base and political willingness to support it. Mr. Franks and the Minister demonstrated high convergence in their views on how to provide high quality learning environments linked to strong school governance, which is the core principle underlying NGS development. The Franks Family Foundation has committed to assisting MoEYS and KAPE with a $300,000 grant that will help to supplement the funding currently being provided for the replication of New Generation Schools in Cambodia.
