| Summary: | This report aims to address some of the
Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport's (MoEYS)
specific concerns in the area of teacher civil service
reform as it considers alternatives for the next phase of
Cambodia's educational development. This study uses the
most recent empirical data to document the most salient
trends around Cambodian teachers: their attributes, the
characteristics of their jobs relative to those of other
professionals, and their working conditions, as well as
aggregate data on how the teaching profession is responding
to the demands of a rapidly growing school system. This
report also reviews the most important policies that affect
teachers' salaries, contracts and incentives to join
the profession and remain in it. It also provides
observational data of teacher classroom performance and
attendance, while linking student academic outcomes to
teaching inputs. The objective of this study is to inform
the dialogue around policy reforms that may affect the
education sector, the civil service, and teachers in particular. |
