Students Ace Exams Despite Pandemic

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Students Ace Exams Despite Pandemic

Post by phuketrichard »

More than 65 percent of students passed the national grade 12 exams, the Education Ministry announced on Friday.

maybe i am biased being from a western country, but it seems praising that ONLY 65% passed, shows that Cambodia has a really low bar to get over and get these figures:
2021 show that 72,016 students passed, equivalent to 65.65 percent.

Grade A, 1,753 students (443 students in 2019). Grade B, 5,215 students (2,430 in 2019), Grade C, 11,634 students (5,847 students in 2019). Grade D, 23,499 students (14,100 in 2019) Grade E, 29,915 students (56,232 in 2019).
so Grade E is passing?? wow :stir:

E is pass F is…fail!

Well either education has improved substantially (or the students are just smarter) or they’ve gone back to the old ways of pay to pass/cheat.
People of the world, spice up your life.

Improved? yea from really really shitty to just shit

my bad;
American and international high schools use
a, way above average
b, above average
c, average
d, below average
F, fail

NO E's, so wrongly so, i mistook the khmer e for a f
my partners sister took her 12 year exams end of dec an just got her grade, a D an she is happy,, :facepalm:

so all in all; 53,414 out of 72,016 that passed, are below average, guess they dont grade on a curve here :-)

Now thats something Cambodia can be proud of!!!!
