More than a quarter of high school seniors failed their final examinations in results posted across Phnom Penh and Kandal campuses on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Education Ministry statement said 128,135 total students registered nationwide for the exams this year, and 90,950 passed \u2014 leaving 37,185, or 29%, who failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 1,049 students, or 0.8%, received an A, and increasing numbers received the other passing grades of B, C, D and E: 7,232, 19,053, 31,166 and 32,450 students, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results were posted at Phnom Penh and Kandal schools, with the rest of the country set to receive their results on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 200 students were gathered at Phnom Penh\u2019s Boeng Keng Kang High School in the afternoon, some of them laughing with their friends, others falling to their knees and crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vuth Sometheamean, 18, said he was happy with his D result, and had immediately called up his parents and grandmother to tell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey said I did a good job. I cried,\u201d Sometheamean said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m an average student, so I only wanted to pass. \u2026 I expected to get an E.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had taken extra courses outside school to prepare, paying $10-$15 per subject, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raksmey Philips, 18, said his hopes had declined during the exams on December 5 and 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the first day of the exam I believed that I would get an A. But on the second day I was hoping to get a C,\u201d Philips recalled. \u201cI am so happy with this B result.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After seeing his results, Philips is determined to improve in mathematics, as he hopes to go to a health and sciences university.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
