Future Cambodia? Not vaccinated, then online teaching only
Future Cambodia? Not vaccinated, then online teaching only
From Khmer Times 23 April 2021
Minister of Education Hang Chuon Naron yesterday said "that the ministry’s top priority is the students, staff and workers safety, adding that 80 percent of teachers have been vaccinated against coronavirus."
Leads me to speculate, might MoEYS and MOH make it a requirement for the future reopening of in-classroom learning (maybe July???) in each particular school, public and private, that ALL teachers be vaccinated?
It personally wouldn't surprise me if this is the way they go. Not vaccinated, then online teaching only. Any thoughts?
P.S. I looked at the photo in the Khmer Times article, and smiled when I noticed Borat was in attendance! Check it out!

It’s bigger than teaching. I think they will make it a requirement to obtain a long term visa using the same process as when they implemented work permits and the FPCS.
You can stay as long as your visa is valid but once you extend you must show proof of vaccination.

IF they enforce this than they need make vaccinations easily available to all non khmers

While I agree you are probably both correct, I guess I hoped in-classroom learning might be able to resume before September and all expat teachers are a much smaller group than all expats.
Because vaccine jabs remain in short supply, I doubt they will make a jab a visa extension requirement before end of June. However if 80% of Khmer teachers have had one jab, at least, it seems the Government has made them a priority in hopes schools could open sometime ASAP (Whatever that means in the current context!) within the next 6 months.
We will have to wait and see.

None of the vaccines prevent the spread of COVID19, they simply stop you from developing life threatening health issues (100% survival rate currently it seems, yay!). So even if all teachers are vaccinated, the little sprogs will go and spread the thing like mad in close proximity & take it back to their un-vaccinated families & grandparents ... I don't think there should be any talk of "return to school" until you're looking at "herd immunity" levels of vaccination.

There's no evidence that vaccination prevents transmission, but there is also no evidence that it does not.
It makes good sense that if your immune system is able to identify covid quickly and clobber it, as a result of being vaccinated, then you're going to be much less likely to transmit it.

They must mean 80% of public school teachers have been vaccinated, right? Not foreign teachers.
Follow my lame Twitter feed: @gavin_mac
I think the minister probably WAS referring to 80% of all teachers. But quite possible he wasn't thinking about foreign teachers.
Both statements can be correct, because the few thousand Filipino and assorted other foreign teachers, at ALL types and levels of education (including all 'Faith-based' schools), are almost statistically irrelevant compared to the huge numbers of Khmer teachers in both Public and Private education.
Actually, though I'm fairly sure I'm correct in general, I haven't seen stats on the current number of foreign teachers in Cambodia. I'd be curious to know. Anyone?
Rough % by nationality?
(I have noticed a much higher percentage of South Africans than, say, ten years ago.)

I know quite a few teachers foreign and Khmer and I believe that they have all received at least the first vaccine. Khmer were a couple of weeks ahead, but most of the internationals have received both.
I'd be inclined to believe the stats

There is growing evidence that vaccination does in fact significantly reduce transmission.
A new study focused on that and showed positive results.

That;s great, but to be clear, school is all about kids mingling with kids, not the vaccinated teachers. That's the danger I see, kid A gives it to kid B who takes it home to grandma, etc. Perfectly great that kid A can't give it to teacher A because they're vacinated, but that's not how school works. Kids will be kids.
I'd edge on the side of caution in regards to schools because of that social dynamic; other businesses should probably come firstas they have much lower levels of socialising among staff than kids. But then that is also hard whilst people are juggling work, and their kids who aren't back at school yet..

Kids have been back at school in the UK for over a month now. The impact on infections is zero. In fact rates are going down slowly still.

mean while in Miami Florida:
A Miami private school has forbidden its employees to get the Covid-19 vaccine, and if they do, they will not be allowed to return, the school told its staff
