In white clothes and Muslim caps, more than 700 students were set to begin classes at the Cambodian Islamic Center on Thursday, with the Ramadan festival coming to an end.
The center, in Kandal province, is the largest Islamic school in the country and registers students from seven different provinces, though most come from Kampong Cham.
Students stood in long lines outside the center, waiting for classes to begin.
Ari Fin, 15, said he was looking forward to studying at the center, as it provided both general knowledge and Islamic subjects.
