Parental Participation in Education: Rotha Chan at TEDxPhnomPenh -

Rotha Chan, who was working as a cleaner for a private school in exchange for a free English class in Phnom Penh in late 1990s, is currently working as senior manager of Manulife, a Canada-based life insurance company in Cambodia. It was his commitment to education that enables him to escape the poverty net and become successful in both academic and career life.

TEDxPhnomPenh was held at Pannasastra University on June 9, 2012.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDxevents are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
