USAID Assistant Administrator for Asia visits World Education-supported school in Cambodia

On July 14, 2012, USAID Assistant Administrator for Asia Nisha Biswal paid an official visit to the Bakhong School in Cambodia. Bakhong is one of the schools that receives support and technical assistance from the USAID-funded World Education-implemented Improved Basic Education in Cambodia (IBEC) project.

The visit gave Ms. Biswal the opportunity to see the achievements of Bakhong administrators, teachers, and students. Ms. Biswal was impressed by the activities the students prepared for her visit, which included planting a rosewood tree, visiting a computer lab, and watching students conduct a chemical experiment in a science lab. She was particularly taken with the students' enthusiasm for learning. Ms. Biswal's only regret was that the time she was able to spend at the Bakhong School was too short!
