Cambodia: corruption and cheating at exams a way of life...

Tep Many is in her final year of school at the Phnom Penh high school.

She paid 25 US dollars to buy a copy of the national exam.

“The exam markers say if we don’t pay them we will fail. So we have to take part in this culture of corruption in student exams in Cambodia.”

Her friend Kea Sok also paid money to his supervisor in order to know the exam questions in advance. He comes from a poor family and had to borrow the money from relatives.

“If I didn’t I wouldn’t pass. Actually, it is not good thing to do but we have no choice. We have to do it because the lazy rich students can easy to do and get good grades.”

They say they brought the exam copies from their supervisors with connections to government education officials.

This year cases of leaked national examination papers to students have been reported in 15 provinces including the capital. More...
