Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in Asia. As regards education, the lack of appropriate training of skills at schools, poor quality of teaching, gaps in teacher education and high student drop-out rates have produced a generation of young people with limited readiness of their work skills and efficiency in the workplace. Public education is therefore viewed as a critical component of the national recovery. The paper presents a partial activity of the project “Enhancement of Technical Education in Cambodia” which was implemented within the Czech Development Cooperation during the years 2015−2017. Specifically, the partial activity running in February 2016 concerned external evaluation of the quality of teaching of vocational subjects at a particular high school in rural Cambodia. The purpose of the external evaluation was to know the status and level of the work of teachers in the teaching of vocational subjects through inspection activities, it means by observation of teaching, and also to provide teachers with a relevant feedback. It can be concluded for the eight assessed teachers of vocational subjects that the basic skills of the teacher are guaranteed, and it can be argued that the teachers achieve so-called pedagogical minimum for teaching. However, there are still aspects of their further pedagogical development. Based on this, the authors want to highlight the significance of development cooperation projects.
