Leave a Comment / MoEYS / By SchoolsCambodia

At Schools Cambodia, we recognize that the backbone of our educational system is built on the dedication of women, from the classroom to the ministry level. On March 13, 2026, a significant milestone was marked as Her Excellency Dr. Kim Sethany, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MoEYS), led the 115th commemoration of International Women’s Day.

Peace and Security: The Foundation for Progress

The event, held under the poignant theme “Peace and Security for Women and Families,” brought together government officers and stakeholders from the Departments of Health and Education. This celebration served as more than just a ceremony; it was a powerful acknowledgement of the role women play in maintaining the social fabric of the Kingdom.

Key highlights of the commemoration included:

  • The Intersection of Peace and Development: Discussions focused on how peace and security are “indispensable ingredients” for sustainable development and social prosperity.
  • Recognizing Contributions: An awarding ceremony was held to honor the active efforts of government officers and partners who work tirelessly to improve public health and education.
  • Collaborative Spirit: The presence of various stakeholders underscored the unified effort between the health and education sectors in supporting Cambodian families.

The Impact of Women in Cambodian Education

From our perspective at Schools Cambodia, the leadership of figures like H.E. Dr. Kim Sethany serves as a vital inspiration for female students across the country.

  • Leadership Modeling: Highlighting women in senior government positions encourages the next generation of girls to pursue careers in public service and administration.
  • A Holistic Approach: By focusing on “Peace and Security,” MoEYS is addressing the fundamental requirements that allow students—especially girls—to stay in school and succeed.
  • Strengthening Institutions: Recognizing the officers within the Department of Health and Education fosters a culture of excellence and motivation within the institutions that manage our schools.

We join the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports in celebrating the achievements of women across the Kingdom. Their contribution to building a stable and prosperous society is the greatest lesson they can provide to our students.
