PHNOM PENH: Prime Minister Hun Sen has asked the Ministry of Education to study why there are fewer male students receiving their high school baccalaureates than female students.

The Prime Minister posed this question during a meeting with A-level students and the Level 3 Technical and Vocational Diploma Examination 2022 event on Thursday morning, 2 February 2023, at OCIC Chroy Changvar.

He said it is a matter of concern that there is only a small number of male students receive their high school diplomas compared to female students.

"[The difference] is very big!" he said.

Education Minister, Hang Chuon Narun, responded to the Prime Minister saying that this is part of a global trend, where fewer male students receive their high school baccalaureates than female students. The Prime Minister said he is not convinced that this is a global trend, and also expressed that he fears one day there will be no male students achieving A grades in their exams.
