The Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA) plans to celebrate the “world teachers’ day” on 05 October 2009. The celebration will be accompanied by a march procession in which about 150 teachers will join in. Rong Chun, CITA President, indicated in a letter sent to Kep Chuktema, Phnom Penh city governor asking for an authorization to hold the march procession, that CITA plans to celebrate the “world teachers’ day” with a march procession to the National Assembly and the ministry of Education, Youth and Sport. About 150 teachers plan to meet in front of the old building of the National Assembly at 8AM. Rong Chhun indicated in the letter that the goal of the teachers’ meeting is to attract the attention of the government and the public about the important role of teachers to shape a better future for the younger generations. At the same time, CITA also insisted that the government increases the minimum wage for teachers to 1 million riels ($250) per month. No reply has been provided by the city yet regarding the authorization to hold the march procession.
