Full tuition fees and stipends for 400 university students to advance sustainable development, financial inclusion and world-class hospitality; Awardees to get internship and employment opportunities at Prince Group
Prince Holding Group, one of the largest conglomerates in Cambodia, on 8 September 2021 entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Education Youth and Sport (MoEYS) to launch a scholarship program for Cambodian university students. Prince Group will provide full tuition fees and stipends for 400 selected students to pursue their Bachelor of Science degrees at top Cambodian universities including the Royal University of Phnom Penh, National University of Management, and Institute of Technology of Cambodia. In total, Prince Group will provide over US$2 million across seven years.
As public-private partnerships are essential, Prince Group will work with the government to achieve the goals outlined in the Education Strategic Plan (2019-2023). Prince Group will work with MoEYS to ensure students get financial support, training, mentoring, and work opportunities to bolster learning in three areas: sustainable development of the real estate sector; advancing financial inclusion and the digital economy in the banking and finance industries, and the promotion of world-class hospitality standards, meeting the future human capital needs of the local economy.
Through internships, students will learn from top professionals in Cambodia – Prince Group, which oversees more than 80 businesses, possesses a diverse workforce with 20% of employees hailing from places like Singapore, Malaysia, and Greater China.
Mr.Hang Chuon Naron, Cambodia’s Minister of Education Youth and Sport, commented: “We welcome the cooperation of employers that take their role as educators seriously. Cambodia’s road to recovery will require bright young minds from all parts of the country and MoEYS, along with its partners, will remove obstacles, offer targeted guidance, ensure equitable access to education and work opportunities to ensure talented students focus on learning and acquiring skills that will be important for Cambodia’s future.”
“We are pleased to launch one of Cambodia’s largest scholarship programs sponsored by a private enterprise,” said Gabriel Tan, Chief Communications Officer of Prince Holding Group. “Prince Group’s various units are excited to welcome Cambodian students into our family as we will create strong internship and management trainee programs to train, nurture and educate the leaders of tomorrow. The Chen Zhi Scholarship seeks to provide both academic and practical experience for the students, by providing both a first-rate education and exposure to an international working experience.”
The scholarship will be spearheaded by Neak Oknha Chen Zhi, Chairman of Prince Group, who was recently recognized as the Entrepreneur of the Year among leaders of conglomerates at the 2021 International Business Awards, due to his business and corporate social responsibility leadership over the course of the pandemic.
Under Chen Zhi, Prince Group follows a holistic environment, social and governance framework (ESG) that aims to make a long-term impact in Cambodia. Prince Group has opened the Prince Horology Vocational Training Center, Cambodia’s first independent watch school. The training center gives Cambodian youths the opportunity to learn a new artisanal skill – watchmaking – and gain the necessary experience to help them in job markets in Cambodia and abroad. In August this year, Prince Group had also sponsored the Career Preparation Program run by Caring for Cambodia, a leading charity, to help high school students. Prince Group will continue to actively seek out ways to contribute to better educational outcomes for Cambodians from all walks of life.
***What are the things you can do when you can “read”?I vividly remembered the moment that all my children learned how to read and write for the first time. That moment gave unexplainable joy and hope to me and reassured me that their future will be promising.Literacy is one of the world’s sustainable development goals. The data from World Bank has reported that adult literacy in Cambodia in 2009 was 76.14%. After a decade, the General Population Census of Cambodia 2019 report has shown a total of 87.7% of adult literacy rate, which has been a significant growth in Cambodia’s literacy mission. We are grateful to our Prime Minister, Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, for his visionary leadership. Thank you to the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports for working tirelessly in providing Cambodia’s children with the ability to access to schools.The objective of celebrating National and International Literacy Day is to understand its problem and seek solutions. Since last year, Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the learning of children, young people and adults at an unprecedented scale. However, the rapid shift from in-person learning to distance-learning has become prominent as a solution and this new normal highlight persistent digital transformation in educational system. That also means regardless of the distance, technology-enabled literacy will be more inclusive and the world is working toward narrowing the digital-divide and leaving no one behind in this mission.I am fully convinced that education is crucial for every individual and it connects to the nation-wide issue on human resource development that affects economic, social and culture development. There is no debate that the inverse correlation between education and poverty is evident; education empowers knowledge, which enables upward socioeconomic mobility. Education certainly is a powerful tool to escape from poverty. It leads the community to sustainable and stable economic and social empowerment.In celebrating this event, let’s support the efforts towards 100% literacy in our country.#kithmeng#royalgroup
