The Speed Online to Rural Schools in Cambodia, By 01515

         I was extremely interested in an article titled “Bring Rural Schools Up to Speed Online” in LIFT Newspaper. Regarding to this article in Cambodia there are millions of students who go to schools with no internet access at all even though it is in 21^st century that is one of the most powerful tools that person can have for learning. According to the data from the Ministry of post and Telecommunication received earlier this month, the kingdom had 291,589 internet subscribers out of 14.8 million people total, showing that Cambodia is the one of the lowest in the world, and well behind the average in Asia 21.5 percent, and the word average 28.7 percent (Cheng...). In my though, I strongly believe that the expanding of internet to rural area might be good for rural students and residents to have an internet connection. This is because internet access can bring educational material from around the world directly to students is places that are otherwise isolated. through this electronic process. What more, it makes all of them easier to get information related to their assignments and to get what they need through this electronic process. On the other hand, there are many things both positive and negative in the internet that can affects to the rural students as well if allowing them to use internet independently.
