Some of these challenges include lack of training in English to teach their class effectively, having a large number of students, or very low salaries. A key challenge PEPY has faced is the retention of government school teachers, and this has been particularly evident in the lessons learned from our <a href=\"https:\/\/pepyempoweringyouth.org\/our-programs\/education\/traveling-teacher-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Traveling Teacher Support<\/a> program.<br \/>\nPEPY is looking forward to see how effective the new Teacher Policy is, and we hope this step in the right direction will have a positive impact to empower teachers and improve the quality of education.<br \/>\nOngoing collaboration between government organizations, teachers and other related organizations; as well as effective monitoring are needed to support educators adequately and provide quality teaching for students.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nepcambodia.org\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=131%3Ateacher-policy&amp;catid=4%3Amoeys&amp;Itemid=159&amp;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View the full Teacher Policy\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport releases a new Teacher Policy\u00a0 Cambodia\u2019s Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport works to establish and develop human resources.
