Mandatory Drug Tests for Teachers and Students
Students Face Compulsory Drug Tests
By Lay Sopheavotey December 15, 2022 5:25 PM
PHNOM PENH – All students at the age of possible drug use will have to take drug tests along with their teachers, Interior Minister Sar Kheng says.
“This is an obligation, not a wake-up call nor spreading awareness campaign at which they do or don’t, as they want,” he said on Dec. 14 at a school inauguration in Battambang province. “An obligation is a must.”
He said the age at which students will have to take the tests will be discussed but it will be older than 13. The test was to protect social security and welfare.
In November, the minister announced a drug test obligation for job applicants, saying this would be included in an amendment to the Law on Drug Control led by Justice Minister Keut Rith.
Kheng said applicants will have to prove that they are free of drugs by earning a certificate or a letter as proof, regardless of the positions they are applying for. They will not be accepted to work at public or private institutions if they test positive.

They should do this in the private sector.
Unannounced tests on the first Monday morning after a paycheck would catch more than a few I would wager.

It would be interesting to see how many vacancies became available.
Or how many brown envelopes got sent to the competent authority.

The incompetency is beyond belief again. How about starting with alcohol tests after 9PM for people driving vehicles instead of testing 14 year old kids?
Re: Mandatory Drug Tests for Teachers and Students
Even without going to court the police could do mass testing at any hour of the day and simply impound the vehicle and require the driver to take a taxi home. But, like every other law in this country it would have to be applied evenly and without influence. This, we know, is not likely to be the case.

Isn't cannabis a traditional ingredient in Khmer food? If they test for weed half the students could fail the test.

Testing the ones crashing into poles, motorcycles, road dividers, food stalls, houses etc etc would be a nice start.IraHayes wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 11:36 amEven without going to court the police could do mass testing at any hour of the day and simply impound the vehicle and require the driver to take a taxi home.

Silence, exile, and cunning.
