The School Health for All Cambodian Children, funded by The Nippon Foundation, was launched in 2020 with the signing of an MoU between the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MoEYS) and Tokyo Gakugei University. The project has received official approval from the Cambodian Government, and is working on the preparation of syllabuses and textbooks for comprehensive school health subjects (2 credits) in primary school courses at Teacher Training Colleges in Phnom Penh and Battambang, and training for teachers in charge of school health subjects.
