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.

  1. 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.
