Building Strong Leaders to Shape a Strong Cambodia: A Vision for Education, Entrepreneurship, and Sustainable Leadership
Phnom Penh, Cambodia —In an era defined by rapid transformation, global competition, and rising expectations for educational excellence, Cambodia is taking a decisive step forward. The Educational Seminar on Capacity Development for Educational Entrepreneurs and Private School Leaders, organized by CEO Institute, emerged as a powerful platform of inspiration, vision, and national purpose.
Held with free admission and strong participation from both public and private sectors, the seminar brought together school owners, education leaders, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers who share one common belief: the future of Cambodia begins with strong leadership in education.
The event was honored by the presence of H.E. Peung Kim Chhen, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport; H.E. Heng Vanda, Chairman of the Board of Vanda University; and H.E. Dr. Om Seng Bora, Founder of CEO Institute and Chairman of CEO Master Club—a growing regional network of visionary leaders and entrepreneurs, and other educational leaders.
Leadership That Transforms Nations
In his keynote address, H.E. Peung Kim Chhen delivered a deeply moving message aligned with the national campaign “Khmer Must Be Strong.” He reminded participants that national strength does not emerge by chance—it is cultivated through people.
Strong individuals build strong families.
Strong families raise strong students.
Strong students are guided by strong teachers.
And strong teachers are empowered by strong leaders.
This chain of strength, he emphasized, begins with capacity development, ethical leadership, and lifelong learning—values that sit at the core of CEO Institute’s educational philosophy.
From Knowledge to Action: Practical Leadership for Real Impact
Beyond inspiration, the seminar delivered practical tools and actionable strategies, including:
- Leadership and entrepreneurial capacity-building for education professionals
- Adaptive thinking to manage uncertainty and change
- Effective and modern school management practices
- Strategies for building quality, sustainable, and future-ready schools
Participants did not merely listen—they reflected, connected, and reimagined their roles as leaders shaping the next generation.
CEO Institute: More Than Education — A Leadership Movement
As Cambodia opens its doors to regional and global opportunities, CEO Institute stands as more than an academic institution. It is a leadership ecosystem—bridging education, entrepreneurship, ethics, and innovation.
Through its advanced programs, executive education, and the elite CEO Master Club, CEO Institute empowers business owners, school leaders, and professionals in Cambodia and abroad to:
- Upgrade their leadership capacity
- Expand international networks
- Gain strategic insight from top leaders and policymakers
- Build businesses and institutions with purpose, integrity, and sustainability
An Open Invitation to Leaders in Cambodia and Beyond
This seminar was not just an event—it was a call to action.
A call for business owners seeking meaning beyond profit.
A call for educators determined to shape human capital.
A call for Cambodians overseas looking to contribute to national development.
As H.E. OM Sengbora powerfully stated:
“Capacity and capacity must be greater than your goals and your problems.”
CEO Institute invites all visionaries, entrepreneurs, and leaders—locally and globally—to study, grow, and lead together, and to become proud members of the CEO Master Club, where leadership is refined and impact is multiplied.
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.
Cambodia’s strength begins with you.
