Rong Chhun, who ran for the office unopposed, said he will focus on boosting teachers’ salaries during his new term. “The first thing that I have to do ... is urge the government to increase all teachers’ salaries to 1 million riels (US$240) per month,” Rong Chhun said following the voting results Thursday. Teachers currently make as little as $2 per day.
