Children's Television To Cambodia
"WorldEducation is bringing a whole new world of exposure to WGBH. We don't have theskills or resources to reach the Cambodian audience on our own, but through ourpartnership with World Education, we can bring high quality educationaltelevision to Cambodian parents and their children."
- Julie Benyo, Director of Educational Outreach at WGBH.Over the last few years,the importance of early childhood education has gained recognition, as researchhas shown that it can significantly reduce dropout rates in primary school.Yet, access to quality early childhood education in Cambodia remains extremely limitedand less than 15% of Cambodian children attend pre-school.
In aunique partnership, World Education and WGBH television are using educationaltelevision to prepare Cambodian children between 3 and 8-years-old for primaryschool. Despite widespread poverty in Cambodia, over 90% of thepopulation has regular access to television. As communities often share atelevision and families watch together, television seemed a natural way toreach parents and their children. Currently, almost all TV programs in Cambodia aretargeted to adult viewers. Educational television can help children developproblem-solving skills, improve vocabulary, and learn new activities. Forparents and teachers, it can provide a concrete example of the type ofinteractions that best promote children's early development.
Aspart of the CambodiaEducational Media Initiative, World Education is leveraging WGBH's resourcesand expertise to use media in Cambodiato promote quality education. According to Julie Benyo: "World Educationand WGBH have found real synergy in how we can work together to educatechildren and parents."During the early stages of the partnership, WorldEducation found that Peep and the Big Wide World, a production of WGBH,was popular with Cambodian children and well-aligned with the Ministry ofEducation's national learning standards.
Peepand the Big Wide World is the first media project in Cambodia to bedeveloped by a panel of more than ten national Early Childhood Educationexperts and the Ministry of Education. It is based on a curriculum targetedsolely to preschoolers to help them develop the essential skills they will needby the time they enter primary school. After launching Peep in 2007,research demonstrated the positive learning impact of the series on young Cambodianchildren and how it prepared them for school. Findings suggested thatpre-schoolers who watched Peep not only love the show, but tend todemonstrate greater skills in problem solving, perseverance, curiosity, andexperimenting compared to children who had not seen Peep. The CambodiaEducational Media Initiative receives funding from UNICEF and technicalassistance from the Early Childhood Education Department of the Ministry ofEducation.
