Cambodian Independent Teachers' Association (CITA)

Teacher Cita's association is preparing for international teachers day on 05 October 2019 at 08 am, at 6 PM, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
As it is told above, everyone, the family of the family, the officers, the civil servants, the reporters, and the citizens, the mercy to the law on the freedom of the Royal Assembly, the freedom of assembly, the freedom of news and human rights. Thank you!

Cita president Ouk Chhayavy told The Post on Tuesday that while conditions for granting the permission was restrictive, it is still an acceptable compromise.

The decision of the authorities this time was different from before, where they had always refused all requests put forward by the association.

However, she insisted that the authorities continue to give rights and freedom as stipulated in the law and fully respect the freedom of teachers on World Teachers’ Day.

She emphasised that if there were irregularities, it would be only set off by opportunists. “But we are not afraid, because what we do will follow the law,” she stressed.

Cita said it demanded that the government provide experiment tools, study instruments, and lesson books for students and teachers in educational establishments and schools at all levels.

It is also requesting bonuses for the teachers on each national holiday (the Pchum Ben festival and Khmer New Year), apart from requesting that the minimum wage be raised for the teachers to live a decent living.

Chhayavy said he expects that the requests would receive due attention from relevant government institutions, especially Prime Minister Hun Sen as head of the government.

She expressed the belief that the prime minister would assist the teachers to improve their livelihood and uphold the quality of education in Cambodia.

Teachers protest for apology after ‘insult’

Ouk Chhayavy, president of the Cambodian Independent Teachers’ Association, said Mr. Vorn’s pain was shared by a large majority of rural families, who were less likely to be able to handle the financial pain than urban families.

“To support their children in the extra class expense, most of the parents in rural areas need to apply for a loan from a microfinance institution to make sure their kids pass the exam,” she said, echoing student reports that teachers withhold key materials during regular course hours.

“But who knows if they are actually going to pass it or not,” Ms. Chhayavy added. “This is a double burden for the poor families who can’t even afford their basic foods.”

For some people, the cost of time alone is too much.
