Background
The Ministry of Civil Service administers competitive recruitment examinations for public teachers under employment-agreement contracts in Cambodia’s secondary education sector. For the 2026–2027 academic year, the online application window for secondary-level teacher selection closes on 7 October 2026 at 17:00 local time.
The recruitment process for teachers uses a defined schedule of administrative milestones including candidate name-list verification, a centralized written examination, result publication, and subsequent registration for vocational or induction activities. Candidates are required to register for only one level—lower secondary or upper secondary—when applying through the Ministry’s online system.
Key Developments
- Online submission of applications for the 2026–2027 secondary teacher selection accepts entries until 07 October 2026, cut-off at 17:00 local time; the application portal link is provided by the Ministry.
- The temporary candidate name list is scheduled to be available by 14 October 2026 at 17:00 for applicants to verify their registration status.
- The written competitive examination is scheduled for 19 October 2026 at the Phnom Penh examination centre; results are planned for announcement on 24 October 2026.
- Registration and commencement of vocational or induction activities for successful candidates are intended to begin on 26 October 2026.
- The Ministry instructed applicants to select only one examination level (lower secondary or upper secondary) and not to sit for both levels simultaneously.
- Official candidate support channels and contact numbers were published for registration and procedural inquiries.
Operational Implications
Applicants must confirm their application status and any corrections through the Ministry’s published verification link by the temporary-list deadline to avoid administrative exclusion. Candidates who have already submitted an application are advised to monitor the Ministry’s Telegram and Facebook channels for updates and to use the provided phone numbers for procedural questions.
The requirement to choose a single examination level affects applicant planning and exam logistics, since the administration schedules single-level assignments per candidate and does not permit concurrent enrollment for both lower and upper secondary examinations.
Institutional Role
The Ministry of Civil Service operates official communication channels including Telegram and Facebook to publish schedules, candidate lists, and contact information for civil-service recruitment events. The Ministry is the authoritative publisher of the registration portal link and the timetable for the competitive selection of teachers under employment-agreement arrangements.
