Two friends of mine, Ming and Andy, keep a blog about their experiences working and living here in Cambodia. They collaborate closely with several high schools throughout the country on technology issues, and they have a thorough understanding of just how the "system" works.
One of my favorite entries details the school calendar for the 2007-2008 school year. (Each year is slightly different, as at least half of the Khmer holidays are based on the lunar calendar rather than the solar one. But the gist remains the same.) Officially, of course, for a list of school holidays one should consult the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport. But for a realistic picture of what happens in a real-live school, the unofficial calendar is more accurate.
So why am I not in a classroom on a Monday morning? Because we are welcoming in the Chinese year of the ox today. Happy Chinese New Year!
