Data-Driven Planning: MoEYS Refines Reporting for the 2025-2026 Academic Year

PHNOM PENH, February 23, 2026 — Efficient education systems rely on clear, actionable data. At the National Institute of Education (NIE), H.E. Tep Phiyorith, Secretary-General of MoEYS, led a strategic meeting focused on the “Review of the Education Convention Report Form.”

This gathering of high-level officials, including H.E. Lim Sothea, Director General of Policy and Planning, was dedicated to modernizing how the Ministry tracks academic achievements and challenges as they prepare for the 2025-2026 school year.

Objectives for Administrative Excellence

The meeting served as a vital step in streamlining the Ministry’s internal communication and reporting structures. The key objectives included:

• Editing Scale Evaluation: Assessing how much the current report forms need to be adjusted to better capture modern educational metrics.
• New Report Formatting: Discussing a standardized layout that ensures consistency across all 25 provinces.
• Strategic Roadmap: Setting urgent “awakening” steps to ensure all departments are prepared for the transition.
• Responsibility Allocation: Defining clear roles for progress monitoring and future review meetings.

The Impact on Local Schools

From our perspective at Schools Cambodia, these technical meetings are essential for the quality of local education. When the Ministry has a clear and updated report form:

1. Resource Allocation is Better: Schools that need more support can be identified faster through accurate reporting.
2. Transparency Increases: A standardized format makes it easier to hold educational units accountable for their targets.
3. Policy is More Effective: The 2025-2026 academic year can be planned based on real-world evidence rather than outdated templates.

We commend the Secretary-General and the Policy and Planning Directorate for their commitment to administrative precision.
