Impact Update
Epic Arts partners with Kon Sat primary school providing integrated
classes for children with disabilities (CwD).
Initially, integrated classes were held once per week, but now have expanded to five days per week which better supports students' learning needs.
Ven Sokun, school director, highlighted that learning one day a week was insufficient for CwD, as they require more frequent classes due to different learning abilities. Before the integrated classes, CwD were placed in general classrooms, where they often struggled, leading to high levels of school dropout.
Integrated classes have been well received by teachers, parents and students. Parents are happy because their children now have equal access to education and the teaching style focuses on individualized support.
Looking ahead, the state school director hopes for greater societal integration of CwD, where they are treated equally and can contribute to society independently. He believes that, with the right support, CwD’s can learn at their own pace, develop confidence and succeed in society.
