A Note on Constitutional Principle: Same Work, Same Wage?
(CamEd Business School, June 30, 2016) Virak Prum
This short article seeks to highlight the same work same wage principle enshrined in the Cambodian Constitution. It begins with a brief introduction on the meaning of the Constitution itself, followed by several approaches often used in statutory interpretation. Since an agreed definition of what constitutes same work still seems lacking in Cambodian system, the article relies on a comparative view to shed light on some directions this constitutional principle might take in the future. Keywords: Same work; Interpretation; Discrimination.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Formative and Summative Assessments for Students and Teachers
(CamEd Business School, June 30, 2016) Samuel A. Whitley
Every classroom, just like Cambodia, is full of wonder. Teachers wonder if their students are learning what they are teaching, students wonder if what is being taught will be on the test, and if what they are supposed to learn will ever really matter in their lives. There are two basic types of assessments, summative and formative. Classic forms of summative assessments present themselves in the form of tests and quizzes taken after the lesson has been presented, after learning has supposedly taken place. However, learning assessments need to be completed during the learning process in order to remove road blocks to learning before they become lifelong barriers. Formative assessments are the best tool for both teachers and students to end the wondering and start working together to make the classroom learning experience smoother and more effective. Formative assessments tell students that the teacher cares about their learning experience and values their opinions about what is being taught and how it’s being presented. No two classrooms are the same. Each will have a different variety of students bringing different backgrounds and experiences to the learning environment.

(CamEd Business School, June 30, 2016) Sereyvath Ky
According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) Program is a program initiated in 1992 by Cambodia, the People’s Republic of China (PRC, specifically Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), the Laos People’s Democratic Republic (Laos), Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam to enhance regional economic development of the GMS and the economic relations of its member states with assistance of the ADB. The GMS is a natural economic area bound together by the Mekong River, and it enfolds a geographical area of 2.6 million square kilometer. Just around 326 million people live within this area. Even that the program in general covers nine sectors like agriculture, energy, environment, human-resource development, investment, telecommunications, tourism, transport infrastructure, and transport and trade facilitation, we focus our considerations, mostly on the main objectives of the GMS program: the connectivity and competitiveness of the member regions, which can be achieved primarily through the improvement of transport infrastructure and trade facilitation.

Additionally, anxiety was found to be positively correlated with depression. The study underscores the importance of understanding personality traits in developing interventions to address mental health concerns among university students.
The Intelligibility of Intelligibility
(CamEd Business School, June 30, 2016) Kathryn O. Ogden
One student, who had been educated at a Turkish Islamic school in Phnom Penh, stated that communicating in English with others within Cambodia was very difficult for him during his primary and high school years because he was taught English by only Turkish teachers who were non-native English speakers. He had problems communicating not only with the expat and tourist populations, but with other Cambodian English language learners because his accent was much different than everyone else’s and he laughingly said that he never had the chance to speak nor meet any Turkish people outside of his school environment. Although he showed amusement by his predicament, he immediately stated afterwards that it was actually not that funny. He was often judged by his peer Cambodians for his accent. He was a victim of perceived intelligibility.
