High School teacher wants to make permanent difference to Cambodia
High School teacher wants to make permanent difference to Cambodia
Lovely. I'm sure he will make a huge difference and solve the teaching problems in this war-torn country, once he gets over his concerns about being so far from home.
And once you've crowd-funded him, of course.

He looks like a slimmer version of Mark Smith, with darker hair. He seems to know everything about the country, without having set foot here. Pity he's already committed or I'd hire him on the spot.

WTF? Is it 1980 or something?“Due to the civil war the country has a missing generation of university qualified teachers.
“There is no one to train teachers and schools are often staffed by local volunteers. "
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

Yeah, it's badly worded. I guess he has been badly advised / prepared by the organisation he is coming with. But in reality there has been a shortage of funding allocated to the education sector for many years.Lucky Lucan wrote:WTF?

Even experienced teachers are using dated techniques and would surely benefit them to learn new approaches rather than the tired 'talk & chalk & repeat'
Give the guy a chance. He just wants to help the millions of little brown orphans, with their appealing eyes and bellies bloated by malnutrition. I can understand his safety concerns, with those evil men in black still roaming all over the countryside.

You're probably right. He really should abandon his idealistic mission of mercy and apply for a paid role in your top, top school, (which you are so reluctant to mention). There really is a much greater need, and indeed personal satisfaction & reward to be had teaching the precious kids of the elite rather than the ungrateful, overpaid and underworked rural government school teachers.Gilmore wrote:Give the guy a chance.

Exactly, the civil war is almost 40 years in the past. If they want to rise then they must want to rise. No charity, foreign aid or well meaning in the world is going to compensate for a people's will to rise. There is no shortage of money, foreign advise or other. Sorry if I sound cynical but this is the truth.Lucky Lucan wrote:WTF? Is it 1980 or something?“Due to the civil war the country has a missing generation of university qualified teachers.

Are you sane? Been watching too much CNN, I think. If you're so impressed, go fund him.
I think the evil men in black are now called RCAF. There is some truth to that, as part of the peace deal with the KR was a transfer of their soldiers into the ranks of the Cambodian military. It is a common occupation among the survivors in Anlong Veng.
Of course, being such an expert on rural deprivation, you would already know that.

That's not at all true, in fact the well intentioned teacher in question was more accurate on that point:Dahon wrote:Exactly, the civil war is almost 40 years in the past.Lucky Lucan wrote:WTF?

The war continued well into the 90s, and only officially ended with the surrender of the last diehard Khmer Rouge in December 1998 -March 1999. The reason I mentioned 1980 was because the country was in a pitiful state then, and was struggling to rebuild an education system from scratch. Almost anyone who could read or write could be employed as a teacher then. Besides the educated people who had been singled out and executed in the Pol Pot regime, there was a brain-drain of the remaining educated people to the border camps in Thailand going on throughout the 1980s, and many were given refuge in third countries (USA/ France/ Australia etc) from there. It wasn't till the early 90s that any substantial number of these people returned from third countries, and many never did.The civil war in Cambodia that ended in the 1990s....
There has been great progress in the education system in recent years, thanks in no small part to Dr. Hang Chuon Naron, and the budget for education has gotten much larger (up 24% in the past year alone), so there is some hope on the horizon.
