47 The total number of professors delivering special lectures was 59, and the total number of students was around 3,500. For example, all in the current ‘director’ and ‘section chief’ class of the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts of Cambodia were students who had attended those intensive lectures, and needless to say many former students of ours are also active in other ministries and agencies. On-site training was conducted in parallel with the lectures. There were a total of 471 Japanese as well as foreign experts and researchers who provided guidance in field training, and their nationalities ranged from French, British, American, and Estonian. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those professors, who cut across borders in order to save the Angkor monuments. This on-site course had a special significance with regard to the intensive training of conservation officers. The training lasted for almost thirty to forty days, and it was conducted during the summer vacation in August, the spring vacation in March, and the Christmas and New Year holidays in December and January. Hence, by simple calculation this indicates that the professors who had conducted this on-site training on more than 10 occasions, had performed these activities of service at the archaeological site for a total of around 300 to 400 days. The curriculum adopted for archaeological site training was as follows. On-site training was conducted from 7:00 AM to 11:30 AM, after which they all returned to the Sophia Asia Center for Research and Human Development, and from 2:00 PM onwards they got ready reports and prepared for the succeeding day. The Professors who had conducted this program on over 10 occasions are as follows.
