Thousands of students were unable to attend classes yesterday after returning from holiday, as more than 500 schools remained closed due to flooding that has claimed 50 lives so far this year.

According to a report released by the National Committee for Disaster Management, 513 schools in six provinces shuttered their doors citing an expected lack of attendance.

The worst-affected provinces were Kampong Cham and Prey Veng, where disruptions caused by the deluge were reported in dozens of districts. In Kampong Cham, 187 schools in 13 districts were closed, while 165 schools in 12 districts postponed the new term in Prey Veng.

Banteay Meanchey, Kandal, Kratie and Stung Treng were also affected. …

Hem Sophal, director of Prey Veng’s Department of Education, said at least 165 schools in the province were forced to close, adding that the department would release new timetables for students who would miss classes.
