Geography only 30%? That's terrible isn't it? I bet they know ther way around The Phillipines though. What is the standard in The Philipines better schools?
I assume there are still some Filipino teachers left in the country.
Decent third tier school
For those who are talking about the high quality of education at Northbridge, my experience is that it is only good if the student is motivated. I occasionally teach a class in website development at a very expensive ($1000 per course per 11 week term) college here. Most of my students are from ISPP and Northbridge, but I have also had them from other "international schools" and the better regarded public high schools like Sisowath. The latter are just as well-educated as any of the private school kids, and in some cases more so. (They also had outside English classes and possibly tutors, I believe.) I had one Northbridge graduate who could not do even the simplest algebra--literally one variable equations along the lines of "What is x, if 4x = 1024?" He said he made As and Bs in algebra at Northbridge by bribing his teacher. His best friend confirmed it.

Is it 100% foreign teachers there? No Cambodians allowed (other than to possibly teach Khmer)?gavinmac wrote:Foreign teacher? Do foreign teachers take bribes in Cambodia?Buscador wrote: He said he made As and Bs in algebra at Northbridge by bribing his teacher. His best friend confirmed it.

Khmer teaching assistants I believe. Possible they changed the grades, who knows. The main thing with Northbridge is that I believe it's now owned by Anglia, but Royal Group have taken over majority shares. This means that the majority owners are still Khmer with all that obviously brings. Rich kids, corruption everywhere so on. I've heard similar stories from a few teachers unhappy with management. The parents of such kids got to where they are through the same techniques, so it's no surprise that they just buy their way through life. In contrast, I've never heard about such things happening at ISPP, which isn't Khmer owned or managed.
