Regarding the 6.6% teaching staff resignation at EdU in the last academic year, Zhang Renliang said that there is no trend of resignation, and the reasons for resignation are also different, so he is not worried about the manpower problem.


Zhang Renliang said that based on his experience last summer, he taught many students who had already been admitted to schools before graduation. In October, that is, after the start of school, there are still job advertisements.

The most shortage of English and home economics teachers, Li Zijian, the principal-designate and the current academic and chief vice-principal, said that last year, he added home economics teachers, and the response was quite positive.

According to earlier data from the UGC, the staff turnover rate of EdUniversity reached 6.6% in the last school year. Zhang Renliang said that every year some people leave and new teachers are hired. The reasons for leaving are different. Due to personal factors, some people also left Hong Kong.

He doesn't think the school's turnover is serious and doesn't worry too much.

Zhang also pointed out that the future population decline is an indisputable fact. The government has adjusted the number of teacher training places earlier, and the number of teacher training places will indeed decrease by more than 10% in the next three years. Whether there will be a further reduction in the future depends on how the government estimates.

He emphasized that it is difficult to predict whether teacher training will be reduced, but he will make two-handed preparations, including increasing the number of non-teacher places.

In addition, since 2020, EdUniversity has cooperated with 6 major universities in Cambodia to help improve the professional level of local university teachers and offer teaching certificate courses. A total of 37 Cambodian university teachers have been trained so far. Recruited 6 main supervisors to enter its Doctor of Education program.

Mak Ngoy, director of the Higher Education Department of the Cambodian Ministry of Education, said that the plan has successfully improved the quality of local higher education and provided more educational opportunities.
