To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MoEYS) has decided to close five high schools in Phnom Penh for 14 days.

This is a major setback for the much-anticipated school reopening, which took place on September 15th.

 

The following are the five high school classes:

 

1. Hun Sen Ponhea Pun High School (Grade 9B)
2. Boeung Prey High School (Grade 12A1, 9C1 9D1)
3. Boeung Thom High School (Grade 7A2)
4. Wat Phnom High School (Grade 9H2, 9D2, 9B2, 9B, 9H2, 12C2, 12C1, 12B2, 12B1) and
5. Wat Koh High School (Grade 7F).

 

Other classrooms will continue to operate normally, according to the Ministry of Education, but students must limit their outings and continue to wear masks and wash their hands periodically.
