Cambodia's Ministry of Education Youth and Sport says the government isn't satisfied with the current quality of education.
The Ministry's higher education deputy director general, Mak Ngoy, says increasing the number of higher education institutions is a positive sign, but the country is struggling with the hard task of strengthening quality.
In 2000, there were 10 post-secondary institutions in Cambodia. Now there are 70 private and state-run universities.
Mak Ngoy says most programs offered by those institutions are dismal.
Qualified university professors complain that many students rarely do their work and cheating is rampant.
Royal University of Phnom Penh rector, Lav Chhiv Eav, says a number of students are content to pay for a degree and do not realise the benefit of a good education.
He says some students are scared of studying hard and think what they need is any degree, not quality and the final result will be joblessness.
The education ministry says more than 135,000 Cambodians are currently enrolled in some form of higher education, compared to just 25,000 eight years ago.
According to the Economic Institute of Cambodia only one in 10 recent university graduates have found work.

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. At least, we don't lived in the roach infested government housing.
Hun Sen is the smartest person that's why he earned his PhD without ever sitting an exam, like you guys who study your ass off for 20 years and still didn't have any PhD. Shame on you. You must recognize how smart he is that's why he get respected for his political skills in leading the country and keeping it safe. PhD means nothing if you do not have proven record of achievement like Samdach.
1:54pm...what the hell? teachers at the US Universities can't speak English? Where the hell u get that from? U mean universities in Cambodia where the majority of the students graduated with a BA or Master degree in English and can barely speak English? My driver has a f*cken master degree in English and i cld barely understand his English and he's driving for me. What do u have to say about that asshole? That shows how messed up this education system is in Cambodia.
