with participants from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam

The Capacity and Network Project (Mekong Sub-Region) Workshop, known as CANP(MSR), was held from 14th to 25th October in Phnom Phen in Cambodia.

Thirty-three participants from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Viet Nam, and an international support team of eight, completed a full programme of workshops in mathematics and mathematics education, as well as national presentations and other events, including a full social programme.

The CANP(MSR) Workshop was opened by the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Youth Education and Sport, His Excellency Pit Chamnan. A delegation later met again with the Secretary of State, presenting a report on their recommendations with respect to three questions about mathematics education in Cambodia. In addition, four members of the international team gave presentations at Kemarak university to a group of 150 teachers.

The Workshop has formed a regional grouping, yet to be given a formal name, and plans to meet in 2014, as well as mount other regional activities.
