Officials float ‘No helmet, No school’ idea
May 1, 2018
Phnom Penh’s public works and transport department has appealed to school principals to not allow students to enter school grounds if they did not wear helmets while travelling to school in order to help reduce traffic accidents.

Officials from the municipal public works and transport department yesterday went to promote the Traffic Law to students at Sisowath High School, following visits to nine other high schools in Phnom Penh last week.

Sam Piseth, director of the department, appealed to school principals to not allow students to come to school if they did not wear helmets while riding motorbikes there.

“We want to warn students to wear a helmet while travelling. If they do not wear a helmet, the school principal should not allow them to enter the premises,” he said. “We just want to educate them to protect themselves from traffic accidents that can affect their head.”

Mr Piseth said the visits were extremely important because they informed students about the importance of wearing a helmet.

Nice idea. I always think it's pretty bad when teachers rock up to work not wearing a helmet, literally teaching the kids it's ok to not follow the rules

No, I think it's a stupid idea that has not been thought out, ,as I said here newsworthy/reforming-cambodia-education ... 32-20.html

It only gives kids another excuse to not go to school. First step,, get them into the school, lock their bikes up until they produce a helmet or make them walk home.

Beautiful idea, but I think it's a bit premature.

sounds like heaven for the kids

Maybe they should ask schools to make provision for a safe place to leave helmets...afaik, not one govt school has this facility. Day 1 take helmet to school. Day 1 helmet gets stolen.
