Rong Chhun, President of the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA), recognized that this year’s Junior High School exam was not leaked out unlike the previous years. Rong Chhun said in the afternoon of 07 July that, even though the exam was not leaked out, however a number of irregularities took place in the exam rooms when the proctors collected 2,000 to 10,000 riels ($0.50 to $2.50) from the students taking the exams, depending on the topic. Rong Chhun added that this issue is not new, this type of irregularity took place in all exams. Koeur Nay Leang, deputy director of the ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) said that the 2-day junior high school exam which ends today is not going to see any change, and it will be as good as the first exam day. However, Koeur Nay Leang acknowledged that a small number of irregularities took place, and this issue is being tightened up by MoEYS. The 2-day junior high school started on 06 July and ended on 07 July. The exam result will be announced on 18 July.
