High School Grades
High School Grades
I have seen a lot of Hun Sen schools in the countryside. I know most were donated as a kickback. There is still a deficit of qualified teachers. The final exams tell the story.
55.8% of the students passed the exam--most with a grade E. When I was in school there was no E grade, and a D was sometimes considered a fail. 90%+=A 80%+=B 70%+=C 60%+=D and 50%+=E
Of the 55.8% that passed out of 46,560 students
108 scored A's
1085 scored B's
3292 scored C's
6,093 scored D's
The rest scored E's
This is entirely unacceptable in a modern world economy. Move on-move on!! Nothing to see here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E & below was fail when I was in school. D was a pass, but useless for scoring points for university.content wrote:I have seen a lot of HE schools in the countryside. I know most were donated as a kickback. There is still a deficit of qualified teachers. The final exams tell the story.

C was 60% and up and had C1,C2,C3 etc.
I used to score A's or D's depending on what was interesting. I remember classmates finishing exams two hours early/leaving papers incomplete and we'd go have a pint and then go across the road to swim in the sea. There was an economic boom taking place, you didn't need good results to make good money.

A grade is meaningless without a first class curriculum. A Cambodian A is equal to around a Euro grade 6 E
Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.

See, that's what is changing. In the last few years only 4 or 5 students in the whole country were getting A grades - 108 is a massive increase. I'd say this is a result of students actually studying and showing what they can do. The close to 50% failure rate is also a big increase on last year - the figures only make sense in the context of last year and previous years, not in comparison to when and where you attended school.electric hedgehog wrote:A grade is meaningless without a first class curriculum.

You're assuming the bar hasn't been lowered, and that today's A is equal to yesterday's A.andyinasia wrote:See, that's what is changing.

While visible cheating has been drastically reduced, we do not know what really happens, but a basic knowledge of the 'system' warns me not to be too trusting of stats.
The prices may just have gone up, or the system has adapted to being watched

Actually I'm not assuming. Standards were maintained from last year, but you can believe what you like.electric hedgehog wrote:You're assuming the bar hasn't been lowered, and that today's A is equal to yesterday's A.andyinasia wrote:See, that's what is changing.

I just talked to my fiancé about grades and if I understand her correctly they changed the exams in 2013 but hardly anyone passed so they changed them back the following year to what it was before.
Does that make any sense?

No it doesn't. The Education Minister cracked down on the culture of cheating last year. Despite the warnings no one heeded him last year and so just about every student prepared to cheat rather than study for the exams. The result was widespread failure. This year they had a year to actually study - as you can see, more did so and therefore passed; others have found that a year was not enough to change a deeply-ingrained habit, or maybe the teachers lack capacity.YaTingPom wrote:I just talked to my fiancé about grades and if I understand her correctly they changed the exams in 2013 but hardly anyone passed so they changed them back the following year to what it was before.

As with last year, the anti-corruption unit in conjunction with the Min of Ed brought in a lot of non-corrupt supervisors to invigilate the exams including body-searching and confiscation of notes or electronic aids to ensure cheating was kept to a minimum.
Naturally they'll be plenty of bullshit flying around, particularly from those who failed to study and will not accept responsibility for themselves. As I say, believe what you will.

Yes you're right.
After further chatting she said they stopped the cheating.
She got an E grade, which is better than what the vast majority got as they all failed. She said only 20 pupils out of 250/300 students passed in her school!

No she's 20! (Or 21 depending on how she feels)horace wrote:^^ You're getting married to high school student!
She said they did the exam change in 2013 so maybe she's just making excuses at her results.
Who knows!

We know, we were here at the time and it was constantly reported on- in 2014.YaTingPom wrote: She said they did the exam change in 2013 so maybe she's just making excuses at her results.
