Sor Se Khmer is a mobile application that supports students to learn how to write in a more entertaining way. The app is built in response to the fact that Cambodian children are struggling to write and indicate their native language, Khmer, with 50% of Cambodian children demonstrate an inability to write sentences, as shown in an assessment conducted by Education Quality Assurance Department (EQAD) of the MOEYS in December 2015. The same report also states that students specifically in third grade have a limited vocabulary, and their dictation scores on average score a dismal 41% correct. Moreover, with further assessment, EQAD indicates that teachers at schools have limited resources to increase students’ vocabulary proficiency. The application is the outcome of iCamp on Education which took place on August 2017. The application targeted students from grade 1 to grade 4 to learn how to write Khmer. The application consists of functions such as – write according to trace, write according to sound and write based on pictures. Sor Se Khmer is available to download on Android devices and are currently used in school among New Generation School in Kampong Cham province.

InSTEDD would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of our partners for the years of exceptional collaboration with the InSTEDD iLab Southeast Asia and for your contribution to its success in providing important solutions for social good.
Our original vision when we established the iLabSEA was that it would ultimately become a separate entity, locally owned and operated, in a model that provides social benefit and fits within the local economy. After 13 years of service to our local community, we are thrilled to announce that InSTEDD has closed our iLabSEA and the team from the LabSEA has now established an independent social enterprise organization, Kawsang.
We are confident that Kawsang will continue to provide the excellent service that has become their leadership team’s standard.
We are excited to have you join us in celebrating the success of realizing our vision for the iLabSEA and we very much appreciate your participation in this success and continued collaboration with Kawsang.
