For the most part, it seems, the new rules stopped the cheating that has taken place for years during exams in Cambodia.

Hang Chon Naron is the person responsible for the no-cheating policy. It is an important part of his efforts to reform education. His goal is to replace the old system which supported cheating with a culture of merit that helps those who work hard.

The education minister started in his current job two years ago. He thinks the pass rate will be higher this year, partly because students have studied more. Other changes also have helped, including improved teacher training and extra classes.

We have seen the change in student attitudes especially we got a report from the schools that they worked harder, they attended the additional classes on Saturday and Sunday that [were] offered by the teachers.

The minister hopes that honesty in exam-taking will begin correcting the biggest problem facing the education system: high school graduates who are not ready to fill jobs. The system has long produced graduates who lack the skills that employers need.
