Cambodia is Lack of
Human Resource Because of Its Weak Educational System
Education
system in Cambodia is considered out of standard and unqualified enough to
compete with the other nearby countries, and it leads to lack of human resource.
I
think that Cambodia high school, even primary and secondary school, seems to be
responding for training corruption to Cambodian new generation, for
schoolboys and schoolgirls are required to buy candy or cakes sold by teachers,
or to pay party for teachers, or to buy gifts for teachers at the end of each
year. Most of Cambodian people are now
complaining about the weak of its educational system. Because
of corruption has spread in Cambodia’s school. High school examination
is cogitated as a very important event that is held once a year, but the bad
smell of irregularities, cheating, and corruption always appeared during the
day of exam while students spend some money to the controller in order to get
the allowance for cheating, copying and having answered checked by other students.
Besides taking money
daily from students at school, buying passing certificates are available for
students even they did not attend any examination which can cause the ability
to increase the human development and education curriculum unsuccessful. However, it is not one hundred percents the teachers’ faults,
but because new teachers often face a many months delay before they
receive their salaries, David Coleman, education chief of the UN Children's
Fund (UNICEF) for Cambodia, told IRIN. Hence, teachers need to earn more money
by the way described above (Integrated).
These issues caused
many problems to Khmer society, and Cambodia will not be a developed country
because of the lack of human resources. People follow the bribery form of the
previous generation, then the economy growth will jump down and the country may
face with unbalanced society (low standard of living, disagreement, and have no
good aspiration). It shows clearly that people are not treated well, for they
are not provided a high standard of education system. It is difficult for
Cambodian people to accept this situation. There should have no more bribery at
school. In order to solve this problem, law in force should be strong obliged
the people to follow. For those people who are working in the education system
should be punished whenever they are noted that they broke the rules.

Thank you for sharing your ideas about this issue. Education is such an important foundation in a country, and with so many problems, it's hard to stay positive about the future. I agree that it takes everyone involved to change their ways; the students who pay bribes, the teachers who accept them, the government that does not pay the teachers enough, etc.
