Grade 12 Examination Kicks-off

First day of Grade 12 Examination is over and other next 2 days are approaching.

My 3rd sister, Theavy, is also one among other tens of thousands of Cambodian students nationwide taking this 3-day examinations. It is common that the corruption and irregularity exist around this exam period, which Ministry of Education (MoEYS) usually fails to take any effective actions. Positive and strict measures should be taken by both the ministry and government in order to minimize these corruption effects which are destroying our human resources, society and nation.

Anyway, below are the subjects on each day:

• Day 1: Khmer Literature & Chemistry (AM) and Biology & Geography (PM)
• Day 2: Physics & Civic (AM) and English Language & History (PM)
• Day 3: Maths & Geology (AM only)

Good luck to all of those who is hard-working enough and competent in his knowledge…

Let there corruption disappear day by day in our country, esp. in education.

Prosperous Cambodia! Cheers,
