Thai language taught to children who follow parents to Thailand

The Cambodia-Thailand Multilingual Training Project, being implemented via a Memorandum of Understanding between Cambodia Against Child Trafficking Network and Thailand with support from Koh Kong province’s Department of Education is scheduled for completion next month.

Cambodia Against Child Trafficking Network executive director Kong Villa said yesterday that the project has been ongoing for almost a year with 50 Thai and 50 Khmer students living near the Koh Kong-Thai border participating in the multilingual training. “The pilot project has been going on for almost a year with students taking 40 hours of multilingual training and will complete by end of May,” he added.

He said the aim of the project is to make sure Cambodian children who follow their parents to work in Thailand can continue their studies in Thailand as they will know both the Thai and Khmer languages. “If the children know the Thai and Khmer languages, they will have no problem understanding what people speak and this will save them from abuses, human trafficking, and child labour.,” said Villa.
