Mr. Ouk Ponnarith Principle of Chea Sim Chrouy Changvar High School, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
e-learning training course of LSO is very important for the teachers even Covid-19 now is decreased but we still use technology to teach and give home
works to students. I hope all teachers who have been trained by LSO try to learn and understand more about e-learning and share this knowledge to
other teachers. I would like to express my deep thank to LSO that donated 16 laptops and 1 projector to the school.
