Kampong speu: Seventy-nine outstanding students in Kampong Speu province who achieved Grade A in the 2024-2025 high school examination were each awarded a computer from Deputy Prime Minister Hun Many, Minister of Civil Service and Head of the Royal Government Working Group for Kampong Speu province.

According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the award ceremony took place at the Kampong Speu Library Conference Hall, attended by H.E. Dr. Cheam Chan Sophorn, Kampong Speu Provincial Governor, along with youth representatives, local authorities, school directors, and teachers. During the event, Deputy Prime Minister Hun Many congratulated the Grade A achievers for their performance in the national examination on Aug. 28, 2025, and offered his appreciation to the teachers who led voluntary refresher courses.

He acknowledged the students’ determination, goal-setting, and perseverance in overcoming obstacles, while also recognizing the support from their parents and teachers. The Deputy Prime Minister further highlighted the Royal Government’s priority for education under Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia. He noted that the Prime Minister has directed the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports to enhance educational programmes aimed at developing human resources that meet the demands of the labour market in the digital era and the skills-based economy.

H.E. Hun Many also called on education officials, school directors, teachers, and local authorities to motivate students who did not pass this year’s exam. He encouraged them to study harder for the next year or pursue vocational training through the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training and other relevant institutions to gain professional skills and career opportunities. He urged the sharing of this year’s achievements as an inspiration for future generations.

Meanwhile, H.E. Dr. Cheam Chan Sophorn reported on the province’s results, noting that out of 5,772 candidates, 5,038 passed the high school diploma exam, achieving a success rate of 87.28 percent.
