On May 22-29, 2011, the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) and the
Ministry of Education conducted an evaluation and observation on six
classrooms in Kep and Kampot provinces, located in the Southwest part of
Cambodia along the sea. During the Khmer Rouge (KR) period, Kep and Kampot
was under the administrative control of the Southwest zone with Chhit Choeun
aka Ta Mok as the zone secretary. Ta Mok had been the prominent communist
member since his inception to be revolutionary in 1963 until his arrest in
early 1999. He died of disease in 2006 at the age of 80.
