The 2nd School Health Lecturer Training Session

From April 28 to 30, 2026, STEP held the 2nd training session of Phase 2 of the SHCC Project in Siem Reap, the city home to Angkor Wat.

By holding the training away from our usual project sites, we were able to enhance the focus of both the School Health lecturers from Teacher Education Colleges and STEP staff, allowing us to make effective use of the limited three-day timeframe.

On Day1, following the opening ceremony, Professor Dr. Aoyagi Naoko from Ibaraki University and Professor Ms. Saito Chikage from Saitama University (via online) delivered lectures on the Lower secondary school health curriculum subjects “School Health and School Safety” and “Human Anatomy and Physiology.” As this was a valuable opportunity to receive direct lecture from Japanese professors, participants took detailed notes throughout the lectures.
Additionally, since a field trip to primary schools was scheduled for the following day, School Health lecturers from both PTEC and BTEC prepared for the school health activities to be conducted there.

A social gathering was also held on the first day, and dining together helped strengthen the sense of unity among all participants.
