The Cambodia Cyber University Network (CCUN) was officially launched here this morning under the presidency of Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet.
This is a new achievement of the higher education sector in Cambodia, and it encourages all private and public higher education institutions to further pay attention to technological advances to promote education in the country, he said.
“Technology and ICT are the necessary skills that must be encouraged and supported,” the Premier underlined.
Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet also encouraged all members of the CCUN to share data centre between them as some universities cannot afford a data centre.
Regarding the establishment of the CCUN, H.E. Hang Chuon Naron, Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, said CCUN has been created by 12 public and private higher education institutions aimed at sharing the full use of infrastructure and academic resources among member universities, providing the ability to transfer study loans between member universities and offering open study for local and global scholars.
As of 2024, the CCUN’s members have jointly produced lesson contents for 69 subjects for 18 specialised undergraduate programmes for a total of more than 5,000 students, he pointed out.
Those 12 member universities include the Institute of Technology of Cambodia, the Royal University of Phnom Penh, the National University of Battambang, the Svay Rieng University, the Heng Samrin-Thbong Khmum University, the Royal University of Agriculture, the National University of Management, the Chea Sim Kamchay Mear University, the University of Kratie, the Battambang Institute of Pedagogy, the Phnom Penh International University, and the Angkor University.
