Instructions of Deputy Prime Minister Hang Chuon Naron, on the occasion of chairing a meeting on “Reviewing the Progress of the Use of Contract Teachers and the Implementation of the Transfer of Education Functions to Sub-National Administrations” on July 8, 2026.
Contract teachers have played an important role in filling the gap in the number of permanent teachers, especially in remote and disadvantaged areas and at the preschool and primary levels, to ensure the sustainability of learning, teaching and promote equity in access to education.
The Deputy Prime Minister gave a number of recommendations to the expert working group, emphasizing the need to continue improving the data management system by updating teacher data accurately (both permanent and contract teachers) to increase the efficiency of allocating teachers according to the actual needs of schools.
Meanwhile, Measures must be taken to meet the needs of teachers in remote areas, and attention must be paid to strengthening the qualifications and training of contract teachers before they are sent to teach in schools to ensure the quality of teaching.
The Deputy Prime Minister also recommended reviewing and analyzing the changes in the framework and analyzing the gaps in teachers by region to determine clear principles for the use of contract teachers. In addition, a common policy must be prepared for both contract and framework teachers, clearly specifying the qualifications of teachers, and in addition to qualifications, they must know teaching methods (first reading package and first mathematics) and receive regular professional training.
