In the context of sharply rising global fuel prices due to conflicts in the Middle East, and the significant increase in electricity demand caused by hot weather, these factors are directly affecting overall energy consumption. The Royal Government of Cambodia has issued a directive on measures to save fuel and electricity consumption.
To participate in implementing the Royal Government’s directive, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport would like to advise leaders, education staff at both national and sub-national levels, management committees, teachers, lecturers, students, and pupils in all public and private educational institutions at all levels to implement the following measures to save fuel and electricity consumption:
Encourage education staff, teachers, lecturers, students, and pupils to choose public transportation, carpooling, and transportation methods that use less or no fuel
Minimize, as much as possible, the organization of seminars and meetings that require long-distance travel
Encourage the organization of seminars and meetings through online platforms
Encourage education staff and teachers to use electricity efficiently by avoiding the use of unnecessary electrical equipment
Turn off lights, fans, air conditioners, computers, photocopiers, and other electrical equipment after finishing work or when not in use
Use air conditioners and other electrical equipment according to the guidelines of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, such as setting air conditioner temperatures at appropriate levels
Maximize the use of natural light when conditions permit (such as opening doors and windows)
Guide, encourage, and educate students and pupils to participate in and develop habits of saving electricity consumption
All units and educational institutions must promote awareness of the importance of saving electricity and must implement measures to save fuel and electricity consumption with a high sense of responsibility and conduct regular monitoring .
