Teachers filed a complaint with the provincial Department of Education and the Education Ministry on Monday by accusing Ms. Touch Sothea, School director of Samdech Hun Sen Kraul Hor High School, in Svay Rieng province’s Svay Chhrom district of nepotism and corruption.

One out of teachers said that School principal is committing guilty of making false expense claims and pocketing the money, and engaging in unfair hiring practices.

Rong Chhun, president of the Cambodian Independent Teachers Association (CITA), was quoted by the Post as saying that he forwarded the complaint to Education Ministry officials on Wednesday.

CITA suspected the director of committing corruption on a number of instances, and that officials had neglected to take action despite significant evidence, he added.

“Their accusations are correct. The ministry should take action against her and punish her according to their disciplinary rules,” he said.
