BATTAMBANG: 30th July 2007 -- Don Bosco Children Fund Ministry has
supervised Don Bosco Literacy Centres (DBLC) in Battambang since
2000.
The DBLC aim is 'For Every child a Reading Program'. It focuses on
development for out-of-school children aged 10-15 to help them be
mentally, psychologically and physically able to accomplish the basic
linguistic skills of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and the
basic mathematical skills of arithmetic. A new skill, social studies,
is included.
This elementary education is an intensive three year
school-based
management programme. To meet the objective DBLC inculcates general
knowledge and skills, promotes personal qualities, and helps the
students accumulate life skills and work experiences of benefit to them
and to society as a whole.
On 20th July fifty such students gained their
certification and
qualified to continue studies at High School level for the school year
2007-8 in Government schools. The certificates were approved by
Cambodia's Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. _________________ AustraLasia is an
