Background
Allocation of vacant teaching posts in Phnom Penh is managed by a Ministry of Civil Service committee that compiles candidate lists and assigns reserve candidates to public education institutions according to available vacancies. The Ministry of Civil Service will allocate vacant teaching posts at public education institutions in Phnom Penh to reserve candidates who passed the internal exam on 14 October 2026 and have not yet been assigned to a school.
Candidates must register their intent to be allocated a school via QR code or the specified Telegram link between 17 October 2026 at 05:00 and 18 October 2026 at 17:00; only registered candidates will be permitted to participate in the allocation. The committee will prepare selection lists based on the number of actual vacancies and on the priority ranking of candidate exam scores from highest to lowest.
Key Developments
The Ministry opened online registration for reserve candidates from 17 October 2026 at 05:00 until 18 October 2026 at 17:00 and stated that only registered candidates may enter the school-selection process. The committee will publish the compiled candidate list on 19 October 2026 and will conduct the physical allocation on 20 October 2026 at the Provincial Administrative School in two sessions: 07:00–12:00 for primary school assignments and 13:30–17:30 for preschool, lower-secondary and upper-secondary assignments.
Institutional Role
The allocation committee’s role includes verifying registration, matching candidate preferences to the available vacancy table, and applying a score-based priority order when vacancies are insufficient to cover all requests. Communication about the allocation process and any updates is distributed through the Ministry’s official Telegram and Facebook channels listed in the original announcement.
Operational Implications
Candidates must arrive at the Provincial Administrative School at least 30 minutes before their assigned session and present either the candidate exam card or a Khmer national ID. If a candidate cannot attend in person, they may appoint a representative with a signed authorization letter plus the candidate’s exam card or national ID; late arrivals will wait until the final allocations are completed and absences are treated as forfeiture of selection rights.
