Re: Teachers’ extra earnings
You must be referring to private school salaries BKL. My sis in law earns $250 per month for both the morning and afternoon classes as explained in a previous post.

Re: Teachers’ extra earnings
Negative. High school salary in the city is currently around that. Might be lower in the countryside for obvious reasons (much lower of cost living). I'm not 100% sure (could check), but I think primary school teachers now make exactly the same as grade 7-12 teachers.
Keep in mind that there's a big reform going on at the moment. The vast majority of teachers in the countryside don't have a degree. Up to grade 9, they typically just go to a teacher training college in Phnom Penh and do a two year course after high school. They focus on the subject they'll be teaching, as well as teaching methodology and so on. They then go on to teach grades 1-9. Teachers grade 10-12 need a degree. There probably is a pay difference between grade 7 teachers with no degree and grade 12 teachers with a degree. However, pretty soon teachers teaching grades 7 onwards (maybe even primary school, can't remember) will be required to have a full university degree. Teacher trainers will need a masters (currently only need an undergraduate degree+training), and so on. This is all happening as we speak, so a lot of changes in requirements, pay, etc.
The students from the new NGS system (New Generation School) are pretty clued in. A lot of bright kids coming out of public schools now, it's not a bad. Sisowath was the first school to implement the new curriculum. The teachers who teach NGS have a different outfit (green skirts I think). Things are definitely improving, it's just slow and underfunded (but that's generally true of education worldwide). Teachers put up with the low salary because of the flexibility it allows: they can teach extra classes, or work part time at a private school to compensate. Take that away without a significant increase in pay, and they wouldn't be able to attract anyone.

I know for a fact that local rural teachers are too intimidated to participate in the union or any related activities.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 12:21 pm World Teacher's Day is coming up...

"Keep in mind that there's a big reform going on at the moment."
Please keep in mind that there is a big election coming up.
Cambodge, plus ça change....
I'll reply more throughly once I can meet sis-in-law.

Re: Teachers’ extra earnings
So you feel that any reform suggestions now are irrelevant to that election?

Re: Teachers’ extra earnings
70 Students - OMG - How old are the students BTW - I can imagine the noise? Crikey I find it hard with 2 kids running riot nightly at home. 70 she must be one hell of a brave teacher.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 9:47 pmFrom memory, my niece gets about $250pm now. Much better than it used to be. But she has about 70 students in her classes. She says they make a lot of noise and she is tiny with a small voice, so not sure how much anyone learns.
$250, although good compared to a factory lady is a shame on the government for her skills and learning - around 4$ per student. Is that how much the future generation is worth?
The prospects for advancement are not good in this industry so she has my admiration for her dedication.
