High school students in Phnom Penh are returned to school from September 15, when Cambodia is close to vaccination goals for both adults and children.

This is the first time since February, about 140,000 students in Phnom Penh are directly studied at public and private schools certified by the Ministry of Education of Cambodia.

All school teachers and school staff must test quickly before returning to school.

Elsewhere throughout the country, schools in the region with low infections also welcome students back.

I want to go to school, meet teachers and friends.

The school in Cambodia was reopened by the country's rapid vaccination campaign, though CAVID-19 still increased with a total number of cases exceeding 100,000 and deaths to 2,000.

The Cambodian government aims to vaccinate for 10 million adults and two million children aged 12 to 18 years old.

Cambodia received a number of Astrazeneca vaccine lots through the Covax program led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and more than a million doses of Johnson & Johnson from the United States.

Chinese Foreign Minister Last weekend committed to providing three million doses in the visit Phnom Penh.

Additional vaccines will promote Cambodia's enhanced injection campaign.

Since the epidemic outbreaks, schools in Cambodia must close more than 200 days, face restrictions even more stringent than restaurants, bars and businesses.

We need to act wisely, flexibly and manage good situation to accelerate the development of the country, especially promoting human resource training.

Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday announced to begin vaccination for children from 6 to 12 years old on September 17 to re-open the elementary schools.
