By: Heng Pheakdey

Education shares many similarities with businesses. It is a provider of services – knowledge, advice, assessment and guidance. Just like other service industries, education has its customer, which include students, student’s parents, future employers, government and society as a whole.
 
The education sector is transforming as a result of changes in the way people view schools. Expectations for better performance in terms of teaching and producing competent graduates are increasing. Continuously improving quality is the only way schools can keep up with the new standard.

BY HANG CHUON NARON AND ANNE LEMAISTRE

We know that literacy is the basis for lifelong learn­ing that contri­butes to poverty reduction, democratization, and sustainable development. Literacy is critical for improving quality of life by allowing literate citizens to seek alternative solutions for en­hancing health and nutrition, em­powering citizens to proactively participate in community development, and inspiring citizens to value gender equality for the attainment of overall family happiness.

“Literacy not only changes lives, it saves them,” said Unesco director-general Iri­na Bokova, aptly summing up the im­portance of literacy. This year, International Literacy Day is devoted to the connection between “Liter­a­cy and Sustainable Development.”

By: Heng Pheakdey

Thinking skill is often taken for granted because many of us tend to believe that we all can all think. But the question is how well can we think?  Fuzzy or flawed thinking can lead to ineffective decisions and result in undesirable consequences.
 
Critical thinking is defined as a disciplined thinking that is clear, rational, open-minded, and informed by evidence. Critical thinkers are able to differentiate between fact and fiction, evaluate the information presented to them, rather than jumping to conclusions or accepting things at face value.

By: Phoak Kung

Corruption is one of the greatest challenges for Cambodia’s future political and economic development. Speak­­­­ing during the first Cabinet meeting on September 26, 2013, Prime Minister Hun Sen indicated that the fight against corruption would be a top priority for the government in its fifth mandate. And the growing consensus is that corruption in the education system must be urgently ad­dressed be­cause it may have broad­er implications on efforts to tackle the problem of corruption in other government institutions.

Literacy is a fundamental human right as well as a foundation for life-long learning and continued human capital development for inclusive and sustainable development. Literacy and development have a very close relationship. Evidence shows a very high direct link between the literacy attainment of people and the development status of a country. The higher the literacy rate, the higher the socio-economic and human development of a nation.

High-school seniors in Cambodia are anxiously awaiting the results of the school-leaving examination they sat just over two weeks ago. For many, the exam was the culmination of years of hard work and gruelling preparation. How they performed in it is crucial, because it will determine their chance of a place in university, which will, in turn, help or harm their future employment prospects. Sadly, there was evidence of widespread bribery and cheating during the exam.
