The above figures are based on the most recent data for the annual basic salary of primary teachers in the countries listed compared against the GNI/PPP index for those countries complied by the World Bank.
From the above we can see that Cambodian Primary teachers are the second lowest paid out of the 7 countries listed with only teachers in Laos getting less.
We can also see that Philippines is the only country where the basic teacher salary exceeds the GNI/PPP.
It also the clear that Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia provide teachers with basic salary that ranges between 50% to 75% of GNI/PPP figures compared with Laos and Cambodian where teachers' basic salaries are approximately 25-33% of GNI-PPP.
In order for Cambodian Primary Teachers to receive a salary comparable to their colleagues they would need to received $85 per month compared with the current figure of $60.
