Faculty Benefits:
Living and Working in Cambodia
Cambodia enjoys a tropical climate with long wet rainy season and hot summers. Despite the rainy days, most days are sunny with blue skies. In fact, the blue sky is revered.
Siem Reap (SR), the city in which IQ International School is situated, is growing rapidly, has many modern amenities, and has stores and facilities where most consumer products and services can be easily found and bought. IQ International School campus is a ten minute ride to the center of the city. Transportation is relatively inexpensive; a moto ride to the city center is about $1.00 or less
Siem Reap province is located in northwest Cambodia. It is the major tourist hub in Cambodia, as it is the closest city to the world famous temples of Angkor (the Angkor temple complex is north of the city). The provincial capital is also called Siem Reap and is located in the South of the province on the shores of the Tonle Sap Lake, the greatest sweet water reserve in whole Southeast Asia. The name of the city literally means Siamese defeated, referring to the victory of the Khmer Empire over the army of the Thai kingdom in the 17th century.
Teachers’ Salary and Employment Benefits:
Prospective teachers often focus on salary as a first consideration. Although this is understandable, it precludes a full appreciation of the cost of working and living in Cambodia.
A standard contract is given to all newly hired teachers. The initial contract is for two years with an option to renew for a third year. The salary offered to a teacher is generated from a published grid. It reflects both the number of years of full time teaching experience and qualifications such as a second and higher degree. However, one’s position on the grid is not the only determinant for calculating financial well being. It is also important to consider the relatively low cost of living in Cambodia.
The salaries of teachers in Europe or North America may impress people in the developing world, but their reactions have to be adjusted when they learn about the high cost of living in those areas. Similarly, when considering a teaching position at IQ International School, one should evaluate purchasing power and attempt to calculate how much disposable monthly income one can enjoy. Many of the present staff has reported that they are able to save more than 30% of their net monthly income, having paid no more than 10% income tax.
