On June

of Education conducted a quality control evaluation in Phnom Penh controlled
on April 17, 1979 by Khmer Rouge. The evaluation team consisted of two
DC-Cam staff members, Mr. Khamboly Dy and Mr. Sovann Mam, and two officials
from the Ministry of Education, Mr. Siv Thoun and Mr. Va Vuthy. The team
observed four actual classroom teachings and conducted thirteen interviews
with teachers, students and School Directors. The team also wanted to see
the perspectives of teachers and students toward the teaching and learning
of KR history in the classroom included their interests and attitudes. At
the end of each classroom observation and evaluation, the team provided
feedback and recommendations for improvement to the observed teachers and
School Directors to ensure the teaching of “A History of Democratic
Kampuchea” reaches its goal in a broader term.
