AKP Phnom Penh, August 29, 2025 -- A poignant moment of perseverance marked the second day of Cambodia’s national Baccalaureate (Bac II) examination, as a candidate with a disability completed his test using his feet. 

His bright and joyful demeanor upon leaving the exam hall has drawn widespread admiration.

Candidate Kim Ravith, a student with limited use of both arms, was among the tens of thousands of candidates who sat for the exam this morning.
