Educational Initiative Proposal
Immersion Program
Problem
Statement
Many Universities, NGOs, and parents in Cambodia now
are observed with modern technologies. Sometimes, they forget their own culture,
but most parents, Universities, NGOs need their kids, students, staffs to have
good character, and moral for the country and families. Moreover, there are
many gangsters that happen from Universities, NGO, and parents’ kids in our
country that’s why this program come up.
Purpose
Immersion Program will be an independent organization
and non-for-profit educational institution; it will be officially authorized
and fully accredited by the Royal Government of Cambodia, Ministry of
Education, Youth and Sports, and will be in collaborations with all
Universities, NGO, and parents in Cambodia. After I have designed this program,
it will serve my citizens and my country how to be good humans in one society
and be able to communicate with all kinds of people. One more thing, this
program will be provided more moral, discipline, character building for
Universities, NGO, and parents. I think it is new program in Cambodia because
it doesn’t open in the public yet. After this program run, it will be increased
enrollment numbers more and more.
