This year, the number has increased to over 2,200 [\u2026] year after year, the ability level of the students who passed the (secondary school) exam, whether with grade-A (or with) other grades, has increased [\u2026] I would like to thank the noble spirit of the national leadership, the national working group to assist works at the provincial, district, and city level, as well as the various philanthropists who have encouraged the students at the local level [\u2026] the Royal Government cares about all (students), and here are the ones that show their abilities, work hard, and with luck and good health, pass the exams with honor [\u2026] science has been moving fast.\u00a0<em>What guarantees success is (to study hard, and memorize hard), don\u2019t rely on luck<\/em>\u00a0[\u2026] an A- grade is a celebration of hard work, but preparing for real life, an A-grade alone is not enough [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>[2]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) To change the mindset from relying on external forces to on personal efforts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The acters that I admire and highly value are the students themselves and their parents and\/o guardians. The Royal Government puts forward policies, organizes examination management methods, and cooperates to ensure the examination is accurate [\u2026] whether passing or failing the exam.\u00a0<em>The main goal is to change sustainably the mindset. It is not just changing the mindset of the Royal Government (or) or the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) the officials who oversee the exams, but changing the mindset of (the students and their families) from relying on external forces to relying on internal forces<\/em>, from parents who try to negotiate with teachers for their kids to pass, to trying to send their children to school [\u2026] by helping their children pass (at this phase) would create them an obstacle when they get to (the university) [\u2026] this kind of help is not sustainable, and it does not prepare children to have self-confidence [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) Certificate of learning and of actual experience will open the door and what is inside you in key<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every parent tries to educate their children the same theory \u2013 \u201cwe parents have no better wealth to give for the children than for them to learn and gain knowledge\u201d [\u2026] albeit, they must build self-confidence. Therefore, this baccalaureate exam is a measurement, a test of one\u2019s own ability and confidence, for which their children strive to achieve [\u2026] on Facebook, some people seem to be pessimistic on why making effort to study since everyone has got to have a channel to expand (i.e. to get a job and move up the rank). It is not entirely so. We have millions of citizens, and there would not be millions channel to give to [\u2026] it would not be possible to have a leadership of a few people. Hundreds of thousands of capable people are needed. If so, what is the important point?\u00a0<em>It is important for you \u2013 the nephews and nieces, to study hard a diploma, whereas a certificate of learning and of actual experience will open the door for you, and everyone should remember that the important point is what is inside you<\/em>\u00a0[\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) Though have not passed, don\u2019t lose hope<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preparing for the test is a good indication, but it is not the only one. Therefore, I ask all students, whether they are A-grades, B-grades, or C, or D, or E-grades, or those who have not passed, to have a positive attitude.\u00a0<em>Don\u2019t think that that you have not passed the test are hopeless in this life [\u2026] work and life have ups and downs [\u2026] the basis (of success or passing the test) is hard work [\u2026] you just need a positive attitude. Don\u2019t let the fact that you have not gotten an A-grade be the reason for you to drop off effort. No one has failed you except ourselves. Students who have not passed, don\u2019t lose hope.<\/em>\u00a0This is a test. Our lives are still long. We have other options [\u2026] those who are good at it should use the experience as a formula for their continued successes. Those who have succeeded but have not gotten an A-grade must continue to work hard, along with those who have not passed, do not give up on their efforts, whether they go to college, take up vocational training, or work of some kind. Let learning continues [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) Be prepared to become head of the family to take care of future generations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No one could be sure that no matter what you do in this life, you will always be successful [\u2026] please be prepared that your real life will be faced with many tasks that you have to work harder for. For the time to come, you will enter the real world. The real world cannot be perfect like the one when we were in school [\u2026] after this stage, you have to make own choices. Some people choose to go to college. Whatever major you choose, you have to work hard to finish it, try your best, don\u2019t study for two years and give up [\u2026] you have freedom, independence, and control over your life, and think of it as a crossroad.\u00a0<em>Be prepared to live in the real world. We are ready to take another step to become the head of the family, to become the one who takes care of the lives of future generations<\/em>\u00a0[\u2026] and be sure that we are an asset to the family [\u2026] it is time for you to go out and solicit your achievements to help ourselves and families [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) \u201cWhat is difficult that does not kill us makes us stronger\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is no different from the government that has to decide whether to leave the status of a poor country or not. This year, we have decided (to leave) [\u2026] the World Bank, as a partner, has asked whether \u201cwe are leaving or not\u201d. We have no choice. We cannot depend on other always for help forever. If we are still the LDC country, they would continue to give us many preferential conditions for exports, but to maintain that status, it is necessary that the living standards\/income of the people had to remain below (a certain level) [\u2026] are we still willing to work only for survival and our people remain poor? No, we must set the goal of being self-sufficient step by step, even if other countries no longer help in full terms [\u2026] take the experience that we have achieved good results (baccalaureate exam) today as a factor that shows that the harder that we work, the better the results that we score [\u2026] please believe in what is real. Nothing is easy. They say that if what is difficult does not kill us, it makes us stronger. No one kills us except us who block the way\/gate for the development of our lives [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) If no one creates opportunities for you, you have to create it yourselves<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we fail. Sometimes we succeed. However, don\u2019t forget to look back. Don\u2019t just look ahead. While looking at what we don\u2019t have, don\u2019t forget to look at what we have. While comparing themselves with others, some people forget to compare themselves with the progress they have made from a few years ago and\/or forget to compare themselves with those who are equal or with those who are less fortunate [\u2026] no one succeeds without effort, and no one succeeds from sitting around complaining about fate every day [\u2026] one has to face (with) problems and solves [\u2026] people may have different life pattern, but it all starts with opportunities, starting from what they have and increasing more opportunities.\u00a0<em>If no one creates opportunities for us, we have to create it ourselves [\u2026] as a basis for building more success in the future [\u2026] therefore, we must prepare our human resources strongly [\u2026] from primary school to grade-12, and strengthen our knowledge and attitude<\/em>. After completing grade-12 (the twelve years education), they can go out (to work) [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(8) Make yourselves good at a degree, it is not a degree that makes you good<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No skill is better than another. Knowing one clearly is better than those who do not know clearly. That IT subject is better than any other skill, but people do not know it clearly, they would do well either.\u00a0<em>We make ourselves good at a degree, not a degree that makes us good. Remember. We are the ones who make schools more famous, not schools that make us (famous).<\/em>\u00a0<em>Each school is famous only when students leave that school with real abilities to do good work [\u2026] So, have a positive outlook for yourself and a positive outlook for the nation<\/em>. Our country is not rich and\/or without problems. There is no country in the world that is without problems. We must focus on the potential we have, trying to push the country forward. If we just sit and mourn the Khmer Rouge killing three million Cambodians, or the fact that the country has been at war for 500 years, and would not do a thing, we would not become a lower middle-income country and set a goal to become a more developed country and leave the status of an LDC country by 2029 [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(9) Setting a goal to promote a positive outlook for yourselves and for the nation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My dears, either you are the Phnom Penh residents, provincial residents, wealthy residents, and\/or poor residents, the fact that you have a chance come here to sit together,\u00a0<em>must set a goal to promote a positive outlook for yourselves and a positive outlook for the nation [\u2026] all of you, whether an A grade or other grade or have not passed, are resources for the nation and the family. We must take this perspective to strengthen ourselves, strengthen our families, and strengthen the nation because no one can do it for us, only all of us, Cambodians<\/em>. Let\u2019s not allow fighting (to happen like in the history) of 500 years [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>We must create harmony. Increase more opportunities. Let\u2019s build a nation together so that our children\u2019s generations will be better than ours [\u2026] our friends help us, but (building and defending the nation) is our business. We must work together [\u2026] if Cambodians are not united, Cambodians cannot end the war. Even if there were to be tens of thousands of UN soldiers and billions of dollars to spend, they could not make Cambodians stop fighting. (As we Cambodians found) the sustainable peace now, there are countries coming to learn from what Cambodians did [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(10) Khmer remains the only national language of Cambodia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are those who make noise that the Ministry of Education, (Youth and Sports) would include Vietnamese in the national language curriculum. That is not true at all. As long as the Cambodian People\u2019s Party leads the country,\u00a0<em>I assure you that the Khmer will remain the only national language of Cambodia.<\/em>\u00a0It is not French, not English [\u2026] we aim to strengthen primary education by strengthening the foundation of Khmer language even more strongly, from primary school onwards. We have to do it.\u00a0<em>There is no plan for which language to replace Khmer. Khmer people must learn Khmer<\/em>. Not only learn Khmer in writing. Now in GOOGLE, there is Khmer language [\u2026] we are promoting the development of Khmer language from manuscripts to books, printed paper, and now to digital [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>Preserving and promoting the Khmer language is what the Royal Government and the Ministry of Education (Youth and Sports) have put in place. We are promoting the development of a digital system to modernize it. Let us further the Khmer language to modernize. Don\u2019t be afraid or worry that the Royal Government or the Ministry of Education (Youth and Sports) are selling the national language and replacing it with another language. This is totally fabricated and false information [\u2026] the Cambodian people, both youngsters and the masses, please research and grasp the real aspects of the (RGC) policy to preserve the national language [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(11) Encouraging readership, learning Khmer, and numeracy without help of technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Education (Youth and Sports) and the Ministry of Culture (and Fine Arts) jointly organized a day of reading and writing exams in Angkor [\u2026] it was an encouragement. I am happy. Now I see the day\/place where people exhibit and sell books. People go to the exhibition every time. Parents take their children to buy books to read. I encourage them to do more [\u2026] please\u00a0<em>encourage the children to read books [\u2026] take computers as a second choice. We must teach people to write and read, relying on books\/paper. Don\u2019t let some schools start modernizing and stop putting book in libraries [\u2026] before using calculators, let them learn numeracy with their hands and brains (without help of technology)<\/em>. We should be careful that if one day there would be no machines, (our children could still work with number). Don\u2019t abandon the basic methods [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>I support learning Khmer language, counting and adding numbers, i.e. strengthening mathematics, strengthening Khmer literature from primary school [\u2026] I encourage the Ministry of Education (Youth and Sports) to continue to reform and strengthen the foundation of primary school to grade 12, focusing especially on the national language, Khmer, mathematics [\u2026] as one the children completed their 12-year education, they could go out to work, compete and struggle to learn more.\u00a0<em>They should have this mindset of success, a positive mindset, making themselves human resources of the nation. I urge that you do not do anything that violates the law and society [\u2026] and adhere to morality, virtue and behavior to become individuals for themselves, for their families and for the national society in the future<\/em>\u00a0[\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(12) Cracking down delinquents, and let society be filled with those who do good<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trust between parents and schools is important. It must be strengthened to achieve social change since society is made up of people. If many children work hard to learn well and do social work, an environmentally friendly society is good, and those in the minority will follow suit [\u2026] I have ordered the provincial governors and provincial and capital commissioners to\u00a0<em>crack down (delinquents) until they are all gone. Let the society be filled with those who do good<\/em>\u00a0[\u2026] we enforce the law because we have no better choice. (If we let those delinquents continue, it is like) we ruin their future. If we don\u2019t take action, they will still be going their ways. It is better if they correct themselves now [\u2026] we have set up a committee to strengthen the education pilot project of 42 schools. This year, we will expand to 100 more schools. We are making the behavioral education in primary schools strong [\u2026] if we are strong in the first six years (pf primary education), it will reduce the headaches in the next six years in middle and high schools [\u2026] and after the 12th grade, we will have a stronger human resource already educated and well-manner [\u2026].\/.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(1) What guarantees successful exam is studying hard and don\u2019t rely on luck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":106563,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,38,22,33],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-106565","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-video","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-audio","8":"category-slide-show-english","9":"category-speech","10":"category-video","11":"post_format-post-format-video"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106565"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106566,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106565\/revisions\/106566"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
