Rong Chhun, the vocal president of the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA), has been re-elected to this position for another 4-year term. Rong Chhun, who did not face any opponent for this election, said that his first task is to push the government to increase the teachers’ salary of 1 million riels ($240) per month. Currently, teachers in Cambodia earn about $2 per day only. Rong Chhun was first elected as CITA president in 2000. Currently, CITA counts 9,263 members in 19 provinces and municipalities.
