CARE has had a Child Friendly Secondary Schools project operating in Ratanakiri for 2 years. In 2007/2008 it was an 18 months program as a sub grant of the World Education led ESCUP program and there were five Lower Secondary Schools involved: Borkeo, O’Chum, Virakchey, Ta Pang Chres, and Ta Pang Krohom. In 2008/2009 CARE received funding through the ANCP program and continued and expanded the project after the completion of the ESCUP project. Three more Lower Secondary Schools were added to the first cohort: Lumphat, Andong Meas, and O Ya Dav.
