Relevance of Study to Theme: To improve competitiveness of ICT sector in Cambodia, standardized ICTeducation is very important. The developed ICT education will in turn foster

stronger growth in the sector, which will further stimulate sustainable economic

growth.

Proposed Major Studies: My proposed study is the study of the advanced analysis, design, implementation,operation and management of computer networks. I will undertake the advance

study of the backbones of computer network in such areas as Optical Fibre

Communication Systems, Satellite Communication Systems, Radar Systems,

Microwave Circuits, and Mobile Communication Systems. In addition, I will beintroduced to the latest network technology such as 4th generation mobile

communication and latest internet technology.

How will your studies benefit

yourself, your field of study

and your community upon

returning home?

In 2009, UNDP points out that one of the factors that is hindering competitiveness

in ICT sector in the region is the lack of well-qualified ICT graduates. In my opinion,

students usually find it hard to establish meaningful connection between theories

and practice. Consequently, I hope to bring quality education to help students in

bridging their gap between theories and applications, so that graduates are

employment-ready workforce that drives Cambodias competitiveness in the

sector.

LeadershipTo be awarded an ALA scholarship, you must demonstrate leadership qualities and potential for future

leadership. In no more than 2500 characters, outline below:

What are the attributes you consider to be essential to being a leader?

How have you demonstrated these attributes in your career and/or personal life to date?

How will granting you a scholarship for study in Australia benefit development in your country of

citizenship?

What are your goals for the future? What do you hope to be doing in 10 years time?

Note that shortlisted applicants may be invited to attend an interview where they will have an opportunity to

expand on their answers.

I consider communicating, coaching and delegating are the essential attributes to being a leader. I have acquired theseattributes from being a Sales Engineer for almost 3 years. To achieve any tasks, I always communicate to my

technicians to make sure they receive the clear instructions and understand the tasks fully. Unclear instruction often

caused delay, lost money, and resulted faulty system. A leader needs to also possess coaching skill. Technicians under

my supervision come from various technical backgrounds. I often sought to find which area a team member needs to

improve to keep the whole team well-performed. After coaching, come delegating. I have learned that delegating

process is as important as it is difficult. For delegates, they learn to assume more responsibility. For supervisor, I can

focus on other important tasks.

A scholarship to study in Australia will provide me the opportunity to expose myself to global awareness and perspective,

which is very important for any future Cambodian leader. I see myself in 10 years as a full-time teacher and researcher

in the field of information and communication technology in Cambodia.
