Teach in Cambodia.
An emerging international school sector with rising demand for English-medium education, anchored in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Smaller in scale than Thailand or Vietnam — distinctive in opportunity.
A market on the rise.
Cambodia's international school sector is younger and smaller than Thailand or Vietnam, but growing quickly. Phnom Penh has emerged as the regional hub, with several established international schools and a steady inflow of new ones.
For UK educators, Cambodia represents a different proposition: smaller schools, closer relationships, and the chance to be part of a market that is genuinely building rather than maturing. Career progression to leadership tends to come faster here than in larger markets.
NUPAF places teachers across both cities with consistent demand throughout the year — particularly for primary specialists, secondary subject teachers, and middle-leadership candidates.
