During the COVID-19 Period

Since the pandemic began, most schools struggled with tuition fees, wages, rents, utilities, and loan interests, leading to operational suspensions. Rental fees were a significant issue, and while there was some government and financial institution support, it was insufficient. Educational institutions like Aii relied on multiple revenue streams, including school bus fees, food, uniforms, books, and other administrative fees. Aii faced financial hardships during the COVID-19 period. In a meeting of the Cambodian Higher Education Association, Mengly J. Quach stated that he negotiated with building owners, but like other school owners, he was unsuccessful. Many private schools in Cambodia were expected to go bankrupt due to loans taken to open their schools. Aii provided teachers and staff with monthly support and supplies, such as rice, face masks, sanitizers, and preventive hygiene training, amid the financial struggles. In July 2020, Mengly J. Quach emphasized the challenges in reopening schools during the pandemic.
