Sihanoukville Provincial Television reported on July 31 that Cambodia’s Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport had postponed the national high school exams for the 2024–2025 academic year from August 18–19 to August 28–29.
Candidates from Oddar Meanchey and Preah Vihear may follow the exam arrangements for their home province. Those displaced outside their home province may also choose to sit in another province.
According to an announcement issued by the Ministry of Education, the examination was postponed because armed clashes along the Cambodian-Thai border caused schools to close and people to flee their homes.
Displaced candidates must apply to the Department of Education, Youth and Sport in the capital or province where they choose to sit the exams. They can collect reissued individual admission slips from that same department starting August 22.
The education departments of the country’s other 23 provincial-level jurisdictions will accept applications from displaced candidates from the two provinces and compile their names. They must submit the lists to the ministry’s Examinations Department by August 15. The ministry will coordinate the remaining arrangements.
