Universities to re-open with smaller classes, COVID tests

Higher education institutions in Cambodia will be allowed to re-open after 18 months of disrupted learning, with the education ministry setting out guidelines such as mandatory vaccinations, COVID-19 testing and smaller classes to ensure social distancing, writes Mao Sreypich for VOD.

The move comes weeks after public and private secondary schools were opened in many provinces across the country, with schools required to check the vaccination status and ensure social distancing of students.

The education ministry released the guidelines requiring higher education institutions to apply if they want to restart in-person learning. The guidelines limit class sizes to 20 students, require proof of vaccination and allow for students to opt out of in-person teaching and continue online lessons. The university will be shut down if COVID-19 cases are detected among students.
