On January 27, 2026, the ACLEDA-Jardines Foundation for Education organized an official inauguration ceremony for 15 primary school buildings located in remote areas across five provinces. The ceremony was presided over by H.E. Dr. Hang Chuon Naron, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Youth and Sport.

Construction of these 15 buildings began in 2018, with the foundation handing them over to respective schools for student enrollment sequentially upon completion. The distribution of the buildings is as follows:

• Oddar Meanchey: 5 buildings
• Preah Vihear: 4 buildings
• Mondulkiri: 3 buildings
• Stung Treng: 2 buildings
• Ratanakiri: 1 building

Dr. Prom Visoth, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the ACLEDA-Jardines Foundation for Education, stated that the total investment for these 15 buildings exceeded $940,000 USD. Currently, these facilities serve over 2,000 students and are staffed by 85 teachers.

Furthermore, in 2026, the Foundation is constructing two additional primary school buildings in Preah Vihear and Ratanakiri provinces. This ongoing project, valued at approximately $140,000 USD, is scheduled for completion in July 2026.

During the ceremony, H.E. Dr. Hang Chuon Naron highly commended ACLEDA Bank and the ACLEDA-Jardine Foundation for their eight-year commitment to supporting Cambodia’s education sector. He noted that these achievements have created significant positive impacts on human resource development, particularly by enhancing the quality of education in remote regions. The Minister also urged parents and guardians to ensure their children receive early childhood education starting from kindergarten. He emphasized that this provides a strong academic foundation, preparing them for success through to higher education.
