To attend public school in Cambodia, students
must pay a daily fee. Many poor and
impoverished families can not afford to send
their children to public school.
Aogaah offers an alternative to public school.
This alternative is certified by the Cambodian
government and is referred to as Non-Formal
Education. In Cambodia, many alternatives to

Aogaah Foundation® rents rooms in an impoverished community. White boards, bulletin boards,
lights, fans and student desks were installed. Children stream in by the dozens, eager to learn and
improve their quality of life. Community elders encourage families to send their children.
Aogaah's school is in a community of approximately 300 families and is called a 'Community School'.
The families of the community feed the school with over 100 students. The entire school's annual
budget, for all students, comes to less than what most states in America spend to educate just one
student for a year. Aogaah educates over 100 students for this same amount. See School Budget
for a breakdown.
The goal of Aogaah is to prepare students for meaningful employment by teaching them to read,
write and perform simple mathematical calculations.
As an alternative to public school, Aogaah's students can not go beyond Grade Six. Before entering
Grade Seven, a student must pass a Ministry of Education test and since Aogaah's students have not
been paying the daily fee to attend public school, they are not eligible to take the test.

Kindergarten and Grade One students get two hours of instruction each day. All other classes are
just one hour in duration.
There are two classes on Saturday. One class is from 8:00 to 9:00 which is repeated from 2:00 to
3:00. Alternating month by month, science and social studies are taught on Saturdays. Saturday
class is optional and the subject matter is not included on the students' final exam.
As children get older, they must work to help feed the family. Just one hour in school each day
takes the child away from his/her obligations. Schooling is a major investment for the family.
