Teachers call for higher salaries


Give our kids a better deal
Cambodian Teachers Association President Rong Chhun
PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - Hundreds of teachers from 16 provinces gathered at Democracy Park Friday to demand increased salaries as they marked International Teachers Day.

Cambodian Teachers Association President Rong Chhun said he and 15 representatives planned to petition the National Assembly, the Royal Government and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport.

Rong Chhun said the teachers wanted $250 a month. Salaries, which were increased 20 percent this year, are now $60 for primary school teachers, $80 for junior high school teachers and $110 for senior high school teachers

Teachers also make money on the side, with some taking 100 to 500 riel [3 to 12 cents] from students every day. Others sell things to the students or work as motorcycle taxi drivers.
