Translated from Khmer by Socheata
Rong Chhun, President of the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA), asked Kol Pheng, the minister of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) to take measure against all school administrators who use the school ground to campaign for a political party. The Mekong Times reported about an open letter sent by Rong Chhun to Kol Pheng on Thursday 12 June, in which he indicated that “As elections approach, high school management are using their positions to threaten and intimidate students and teachers to support their party and are using school premises to hold party meetings.” Rong Chhun added that this action is a violation of the freedom rights of teachers and students to make their choice, and that this a illegal. Rong Chhun’s letter also stated such illegal actions took place in Touk Meas High School, Kampot province, where administrative hours was spent holding a meeting for the CPP, at the Samaki High Schools in Kampong Chhnang, where the principals and the school management threatened students that they will not pass their exams if the did not vote for the CPP. The Mekong Times reported that it could not reach Kol Pheng to obtain a clarification on this issue, but Chea Sè, MoEYS under secretary of state, admitted that political campaigning in schools indeed took place, and that there is nothing the ministry can do. He told The Mekong Times that if civil servants do not join a political party [the CPP in this case], they do not receive finance, and that if teachers do not join the CPP, they would not be given teaching hours. He said that in reality, teachers and civil servants do not want to join a party, but they join the party to survive only.

If the CPP can use the school ground for their election campaign, why not the others?
I say NO! the others cannot. Only my sam-ach sijo Hun Xen can, get it? Therefore vote for the CPP to be perished from this planet earth!
Kol Pheng who??
Is this guy the same as aa Pheng in Boross Obsok by Lok Soth Polin in the 70's?
Kol Pheng, the PhD from Texas, who is right now the minister of Education!
Ah corrupted idiot (Rong Chhun) should be fired for having his teachers extorting money from poor student and accepting bribes from rich students.
You must be completely blind to see Rong Chhun as a corrupted idiot, while you cannot see Hun Xen as a breeder of the all the corrupted.
912pm,
Is this the same guy who used to sympathized Khmer Republic then DK and never held a full time job in US and lived off his ex wife sweat and toils?Was he used to be Son Sann kiss up guy then FUNCINPEC ventroloquist behind CPP coat?
If he is,then we are talking about the same incompetent guy use to hang out with Khos (Khus)Chhiev and Siv Sichaan boak chhnang in Texas????
If Rong Chhun corrupted,it was not his fault.He was not the problem but part of the critics. The Government strong man of weak mind and sight is the cause.
He who eliminated Chan Si and government in 1985. Presently he is the stooge of the Nam Benh Kleptocratic club.
That's him. A lot of incompetent guys in the US become fully competent in Cambodia these days, as you've seen all along.
951pm,
Gladly we are on the same note.
Yes,you are right.Kol Pheng and his pact: Mak Vann,Pok Than, Vorahuy Kanthul....plus several others with big diplomas from US (meaning us)perpetuating opportunism in Nam Vang nowadays.
CPP is the group of bad people; they do anything no matter how wrong is it because they have the power to do. CPP high rank people came from Khmer Rouge.
Yes,Sihanouk was the President of Khmer Rouge Republic regime.
Hi, 6:56 PM
Your comment has shown how ignorant you or even stupid. School is place to raise "fair and straight" kid - not a place to promote policy. By the way, do you think Hun Sen will allow others to campaign in school ground? Don't be an idiot! Speak and think before you open your mouth - freak!
12 13am. I didn't see 6:56 PM.
Don't mind him; he's himself stupid. He didn't read the article title and he then jumped right straight to attack someone because he wants to show off his stupidity.
Kol Pheng is one of the currupted idiots in Hun Sen's Administration.
Ah Chkena minsi arch, vi doch te Kol Pheng totul dollars. LOL.
Me, blind, 9:17? Why don't you ask the student yourselves to see if Ah Rong Chhuun's militia threated and extorted money from the poor.
