With the hope of seeing the new face of ICT education in Cambodia and for the sustainability of the project, the team are currently extended collaboration with the Ministry of Education Youth and Sports in focusing more on support to schools of pedagogy.
InSTEDD would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of our partners for the years of exceptional collaboration with the InSTEDD iLab Southeast Asia and for your contribution to its success in providing important solutions for social good.
Our original vision when we established the iLabSEA was that it would ultimately become a separate entity, locally owned and operated, in a model that provides social benefit and fits within the local economy. After 13 years of service to our local community, we are thrilled to announce that InSTEDD has closed our iLabSEA and the team from the LabSEA has now established an independent social enterprise organization, Kawsang.
We are confident that Kawsang will continue to provide the excellent service that has become their leadership team’s standard.
We are excited to have you join us in celebrating the success of realizing our vision for the iLabSEA and we very much appreciate your participation in this success and continued collaboration with Kawsang.
