I was give a 10 page document on Friday in Khymer on the SOP of opening schools.

Means nothing to me but can copy if anyone can understand. The basic points were outlined in our staff meet. The doodle at bottom was my own.

I would not rely much on rumours or even official announcements. Schools were supposed to open in August but that was cancelled. Given that the virus has had so little effect in Cambodia and that nightclubs etc. can now open the attitude of the government is inexplicable.

It wasnt cancelled. Their are many schools that were on that list that was released which will be opening today. September will be phase two for the other international schools and the government schools is October which is aligned with the start of their new academic year.

Indeed, several schools have students in them today. Some are opening in September (either due to following their normal international school schedule, or adjusting dates slightly for better preparedness).
