This growth shows strong family confidence in academics, global readiness, and a nurturing learning environment.

Ambassador Teo acknowledged the strong collaboration between Singapore and Cambodia. She highlighted the growing exchange in education and culture, and recognized the role of schools in strengthening international understanding.

She expressed her delight that TG International School and Kinderland Preschool are contributing to this development in Cambodia.
In her address, Ambassador Teo commended the strong Singapore-Cambodia partnership in education and culture.
