From The Cambodia Project 2008 Fact Sheet:

"CPI focuses on the positive social impact that develops from community participation and higher graduation rates. Social impact includes access to vocational and trade skills, better job opportunities and English proficiency, improved teacher skill-set, enhanced community value on education, increase in the number of scholarships, sound business development, increased savings capacity, improved health, and ultimately reduction in poverty."

From The Cambodia Project 2008 Field Team Report:

"Based on the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports Khmer model for 2009, CPI is developing an enhanced curriculum that offers students a more rigorous and challenging academic experience. From its visit to five provinces in Cambodia, the team surveyed over 350 teacher in-training at the Takeo Teacher Training College and held focus groups with students, parents, and business leaders. From attending seminars with USAID and World Education on "Educational Support to Children in Underserved Populations" and with the World Bank on "Identification of the Out-of-School Children with Particular Focus on Children with Disabilities," the team gained further knowledge, support, and advice which have put our team into a great shape for strategic planning."
