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.

High School Graduation Exam Kicks off in Cambodia
19/08/19 22:45
Phnom Penh (FN), Aug. 19 - A total of 117,024 Cambodian applicants on Monday took the national high school graduation exam, which is a prerequisite for the students to pursue their studies at university levels.

The Education Ministry informed that 17,430 administrators and volunteers have been deployed at all 202 exam centers.

According to the exam rule, crib sheets, mobile phones, smart phones, and other electronic devices are not allowed to be taken into the test rooms. Applicants will be automatically failed if he/she is caught cheating.

Over the course of two days, the applicants will sit for the test in the subjects of geography, history, biology, foreign language, Khmer literature, mathematics and moral-civic education, according to an Education Ministry's statement.

Cambodia strengthened high school quality since 2014 through cleaning up cheat and bribery during the Grade 12 high school exam.

In last year's test, 75,059, or 66.21 percent, of the total 117,061 candidates passed the annual exam.

Pressure is certainly on the student over this period. I understand it's a time also for older of students of past years who failed or didn't get the opportunity can resit the test. A young man of 24 told me he was going for his 3rd try, today he told me he walked out because he couldn't do it.

That is exactly the point, the person whom I talk about has no understanding of study, nor does he have any idea of what he would be studying.

Anyone want to guess at how much of what you are taught at school is used or of any use to a person once they have a job.


Me,, I left school when I was 15 and then started learning.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

And your working career was easy and now you’re comfortable, or even a millionaire?!

I'm not landing one side or the other on this subject. I left school at 17, and I've done okay for myself. Some people are just not suited to a classroom environment. My working career has never been easy, even 30 years hence. Nor am I a millionaire. But I'm ok!!

My missus' poor niece, on the other hand, was in the same exam room as a red-handed cheater in Monday's exam, and the poor girl doesn't know if she is going to be flunked, because the cheater had a crib sheet. The whole class has been warned that they might all be failed because of one rogue. Now that is shit!!!
