I. Problem Statement
Bun
Rany Hun Sen Buddhist High School is located in Ta Khmau Town, Kandal Province.
The school was established in 1997 up to the present day. Bun Rany Hun Sen Buddhist
High school is provided general education to the Buddhist monks through the
national curriculum under the Ministry of Cult and Religion, which have 15
subjects to learn and these among are more than the public schools have, so because
of these reasons many monks cannot catch up all the subjects set and they find
hard time to attend foreign languages and computers class. There are 360
Buddhist monks who are studying. Since many Buddhist monks are studying, its
lack of English language proficiency and technology’s skills. The needed of
these skills in order to get a better life in the future, many Buddhist monks
find hard to get this knowledge.
The
following sentences are the problems met:
-
Can’t afford to pay for the school
fee
-
The curriculum of the school does
not have enough times and resources to provide foreign languages and computer
skill.
-
The daily expense for
transportation, foreign languages and computer schools are far away from the
monastery.
-
They meet the difficulty to communicate
and promote the teaching of Buddha to international arena.

real practice on online lab, the students will have more enjoyable on the
course they chose as well as the computer skills, we have an extra course,
which are Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas that the other private schools in town,

b. Organizational Structure
The Buddhist International Language is managed by the program
director who reports directly to the Bun Rany Hun Sen Buddhist high school’s
principal. The director's main role is to initiate the program, making the
decision and instigated the implementation of the existed program and new
program to add up into the languages and computer's training. Moreover, the
director holds on expenditure and get financial help from the donors and also
report to the donors back as well. The program coordinator or administrator have
responsible for keeping in-out documents, keep track on staffs' work, recording
and updating students and teacher’s information's, and preparing a report to
the program.
a. Opportunities
|
|
1. Legal environment
|
-
The program
is under the school and we do not have to ask approval from the Ministry of
Cults and Religion. Since the program will not add up into the school’s
curriculum and it is only to enrich the extra course, which is out from the
school’s time
|
2. Economic environment
|
-
The
program does not pay for any cost of the school building and the other
official approval documents to the Ministry. On other hand, students pay only
20$, which is settled the amount for the whole year and they can attend all
courses with no need to pay extra more by only pay for the renewal for the
next year program’s courses. This will afford to all pupils, who want to
learn languages and computer skills.
|
3. Sociocultural environment
|
-
The
school located in the monastery, that is a good environment for relaxing
their minds and focus on the studies. The role of pagodas in the past,
providing education to the people in general and this such a good opportunity
to restore all the roles of Buddhist monks in the part-time to get it more
real in now.
|
4.
Technological
environment
|
-
The
rapid growth of the technology, our computer program provides Word, Excel,
Photoshop, Sony Vegas, and Adobe Premier which are up to date and all these
courses are not available for free in the other schools in town.
|
b. Risks
|
|
1.
Legal
environment
|
-
The
program could have some issues because it will challenge with other local International
language schools and it could force to close since we do not have official
documents to file in the ministry.
|
2.
Economic
environment
|
-
The
program depending on the donors, who donate to support the program to run and
if they stop donate, it is difficult to survive. On the other hand, we do not
have our own building, in some cases, the school does not continue to allow
us, we will spend extra more on renting building outsider.
|
3.
Sociocultural
environment
|
-
It
could have some problems since the Monastery is a place for many old people
in common if there are many students come to study. It could be affected by
the feeling of the elder. On the other hand, people will criticize that and
somehow they will not come to the pagoda as before.
-
The
Buddhist monks learn languages (allow to learn the Pali’s language) and technologies
are not a good view to the public's perspective and the laypeople, who have
the old mindset will not happy with this program.
|
4.
Technological
environment
|
-
There
is no technician to maintenance computer's lab, we need to connect the
network to all computers set and also the installation software into each PCs
and when any problem or errors occur. It could be difficult to solve the
issues.
|
VI. Strategic Action Plan
