Teacher employment and deployment in Lao PDR: reasons behind the current challenges Page vii

Executive summary The Laos Australia Development Learning Facility (LADLF) and BEQUAL conducted an evaluative study in 2016 to explore the recruitment and deployment of primary school teachers in Lao PDR. The purpose of the study is to inform strategic and management decisions by the BEQUAL Steering Committee, DFAT and the team implementing BEQUAL. The study analyses root causes of the on-going imbalance in primary teacher supply across the country, particularly in remote and rural schools. The study acknowledges that teacher distribution is an on-going issue in the education sector, and is a priority at the Ministry of Education and Sports, as well as the Government of Laos as whole. The intention was to complement a 2015 study by the Education and Sports Research Centre (ESRC) that quantified teacher distribution in primary and secondary education in Laos and summarised the administrative arrangements for teacher recruitment. The study also builds on the 2013 mid-term review of the Education Sector Development Plan (2011-2015), the National Education Quality Standards, and the 2015 analytical review of teacher allocation in primary schools in Laos. Key question addressed by the study The key questions for this evaluative study were: How effective and efficient is the current employment and deployment of primary teachers To what extent is there an effective and accurate formula for calculating needs for primary teachers What are the causes of the current persistent employment/engagement of volunteer teachers, and the incentives for these volunteers. In order to answer these questions, the study team elicited the perceptions of education officials in 4 provinces and 9 districts as well as teachers and principals from 43 schools about how they manage teacher employment and deployment. Data were compiled and analysed for frequency and variation in practices, particularly those that differed from the 2015 ESRC study. The focus of this paper was developed in close consultation with the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES). The study was developed to complement two other studies being undertaken at the same time through the LADLF and being guided by a Steering Committee of senior MoES officials, including the key stakeholders in the Department of Pre-Primary and Primary Education, and the Department of Teacher Education. The study was supported in its implementation by the MoES Department of Planning, as well as the ESRC, whose staff participated in the fieldwork for data collection. Study findings This study found that institutional practice around teacher employment, allocation, and deployment varies between PESS and DESB. Provinces, districts, and communities have their own contexts that need to be taken into consideration. Phongsaly and Saravan, for example, use rotational deployment to various extents to manage placement of teachers to remote schools. Khammouane and Savannakhet focus instead on deploying teachers appropriately from the start, either to an individual teacher’s hometown, or away from it, to avoid future requests for relocation. This and other local diversity should be taken into account during central planning processes. The study also found that of numerous policy documents produced to guide education delivery and outcomes, the most recent – Guideline (0047/MoES/2014) on the Development of the Annual Plan on Employment and Use of Teachers – has solutions to some of the current problems. However, this study found the guideline is not implemented consistently in practice, partly because of complications tied to the secondary education level, but also because of fragmented administration of teacher recruitment. The approach to teacher recruitment and allocation in Laos as it is implemented in practice is fragmented: Vertically – there is poor integration between functions, responsibilities and practice for teacher recruitment and allocation by the line ministry, PESS, DESB and schools. Horizontally – there are many departments in MoES with functions, responsibilities and practice for teacher recruitment and allocation; as well as other ministries, particularly MoF and MoHA.

At the school level, our findings confirmed those of the ESRC Study: that needs for teachers are calculated based on a projection for the following academic year of new pupils (children becoming school age), the number of teachers due to retire, and the requests from teachers to relocate. The needs for teachers are also based generally on the number of physical classrooms in each school. This, according to schools in Khammouane, is to reduce the number of teachers having to teach multi-grade classes. At DESB level, the practice differs slightly between districts. Most DESB interviewed voiced that Decree 177 does not answer the actual needs for teachers at school level. Following the formula set out in the decree would mean distorting the real situation and would cause a sever lack of teachers. Instead, DESB followed the requests from schools. At PESS level, the general practice also supports the findings from ESRC Study in that Decree 177 is not being applied, except in Saravan where they had started incorporating Decree 177 and Guideline 0047 as well as directing DESB to do so. An interesting practice to note was that of the PESS in Savannakhet, where, unlike Phongsaly and Khammouane, they used the Decree 177 formula to calculate their needs for teachers. However, when submitting their annual quota request to MoES, PESS used the total needs submitted from DESB and schools. PESS

PESS incorporates both Decree 177 and Guideline 0047 in calculating needs for teachers. Moreover, PESS developed database formats for DESB and schools to follow.

Overall the study found primary teacher recruitment to be a passive process, responding to applicants’ needs for employment rather than the needs for good teachers to meet MoES education quality standards. Applicant screening varies between provinces, with the most thorough in our samples being PESS Khammouane, which included urine testing for drug use in addition to the list stipulated in Guideline 0047. Consistent with the 2015 ESRC findings, this study found that PESS is the main decision maker on teacher employment, allocation, and deployment, without much input from DESB apart from providing lists of volunteer teachers on a ‘waiting list’. The study found that decisions on allocating available quota to individual teachers are generally made based on the length of time the teachers have worked as a volunteer. Those who have volunteered the longest are placed first, after having passed the PESS assessment. Because of the ongoing imbalance between the number of existing volunteer teachers and the quota available, there is always tension around allocation. Recent estimates suggest there are around 10,000 volunteer teachers (all grades), an estimated requirement for 6,500 new teachers to respond to needs and retirements, and an approved quota for 2016 of 1,900 new positions. Deployment approach differs between districts and provinces though with the same intention of minimising subsequent relocation requests from teachers. A notable practice was found in Phongsaly district where teachers work on a 5-year rotational basis, except those who are near retirement or women with children (who are given priority to choose to stay in one place/home base longer than 5 years). The idea behind this, as voiced by schools from Phongsaly, is so that the hardship of teaching in remote schools is shared. This is also made possible by having accommodation facilities for teachers available within school vicinity, usually provided by the villages. Another example from Toomlarn district also uses rotation but it was not as systematic due to the high rate of relocation that appeared to be a feature of the district. School teachers interviewed reported that they have been working on a rotational basis since they started, sometimes as frequently as every year. The rotation is mainly to fill needs in schools where there is a severe shortage of teachers. A contrasting example was in Savannakhet province, where teachers prefer to be deployed anywhere away from their home villages. Discussion with PESS and DESB revealed that many ethnic groups within Savannakhet have a tradition of preferring to gain personal or career advancement outside their

birthplace. While this may help to alleviate problems relating to relocation, it poses a challenge for language barriers between teachers and pupils of different ethnic groups. PESS

Deployment Approach Teachers are relocated on a 5-year rotational basis. Teachers are deployed to their home village/town where possible to avoid possible relocation. Teachers are deployed to their home village/town where possible to avoid possible relocation. Teachers are deployed to schools in other villages than their home towns. Teachers are deployed to their home village/town where possible to avoid possible relocation. Similar to Phongsaly, but on a more frequent basis, due mainly to high rate of relocation.

The number of volunteer teachers in each province is quite dynamic. The reason behind this variation is beyond the scope of this study. However, it is worthwhile noting the trends. At local level, PESS and DESB are forced to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teachers because workloads at school levels can be a burden on a number of teachers, especially those with multi-grade classes. While schools are sympathetic to teachers who work as volunteers without pay, not having them would simply mean a number of children could not complete primary school. At the individual level, teachers accept a volunteer position thinking it would only be for a couple of years before they are appointed to a permanent (quota) civil service position. For example, in the academic year 2011-2012 volunteer teachers in Phongsaly, Savannakhet, and Saravan decreased, while those in Khammouane increased. Then in 2012-2013, the number in Savannakhet and Saravan dropped, while that in Phongsaly and Khammouane rose. Academic Year

Discussions with PESS, DESB, schools, and teachers in sample provinces identified several reasons for the continued use of volunteer teachers. One was aligning with physical infrastructure because schools need to have at least the same number of teachers as the total physical classrooms if the number of pupils exceeds the limit for multi-grade teaching. For example, as demonstrated in the following table using the case of some schools in Saravan, a primary school with 5 classrooms of more than 17 pupils in each would need at least 5 teachers. Any school with less teachers would request more, even though the total number of pupils does not exceed 170 (34 PTR x 5 classrooms).

Teacher salary is generally disbursed from the national treasury through provincial treasury and into PESS, except for the provinces categorised as economically self-sufficient. Savannakhet and Khammouane are two such provinces where salaries are drawn from the provincial revenue and so disbursed directly at provincial level. Savannakhet, however, regarded as the most industrialised province in the country, had been paying its (primary school) teachers late for as long as study respondents could remember. In Phongsaly where salary payment arrives from the national treasury, not only do teachers received their salary on time, the provincial governor also contributed a budget line to support volunteer teachers in the form of ‘bonuses’ paid out at the end of each academic year. Social security is also relevant to a discussion about salaries. From each payment 8% of teacher salary is automatically deducted for social security and healthcare coverage. This is required under the Social Security Law 2751/SSO, dated 24 July 2015, although the current contributions are regulated to be 6% from the employer and 5.5 from the employee. A number of study respondents perceive that they just ‘lose’ the 8% of their salary – even though they are entitled to a pension at retirement that is in part paid for by their social security contributions made whilst working. This logic is not communicated to teachers and so their total remuneration is poorly understood. Key conclusions The employment and deployment of primary teachers in Laos is inconsistent and poorly linked to primary education targets set out in the Education Sector Development Plan and the National Quality Education Standards. The quota system of employment has a direct impact on the ability of DESB and PESS to manage human resources for quality primary education outcomes. This is coupled with uncertainty around disbursement of salary compensation for staff because of different financial channels for funding salaries. Inconsistent understanding of the total remuneration package, in particular what social security deductions are used for and how allowances are calculated and paid create uncertainty for teachers. Given these reasons, it is understandable that DESB and PESS, as implementing agencies, are unable to do much because the management of financial and human resources to meet policy objectives are mostly out of their control. Key conclusions from the study suggest opportunities for MoES to work with PESS and DESB to: agree approaches to implementation of Guideline (0047/MoES/2014) on the Development of the Annual Plan on Employment and Use of Teachers that respond to local contextual needs whilst ensuring a consistent education quality standard across Laos simplify the administrative processes for teacher recruitment and allocation to ensure more efficient use of the primary education salary budget – the largest primary education expense to the government take into account the financial context facing Government of Lao PDR, to ensure that sector development plans do not impose unrealistic expectations on provincial and district agencies that implement plans in practice.

1. Introduction The Government of Lao PDR places priority on building its human resource capacity to address existing skills gaps to sustain social development and economic growth and support new enterprises. Basic education is the flagship of Australia’s development cooperation partnership with the Lao PDR, and the proportion of investment allocated to basic education is anticipated to increase during implementation of the new Aid Investment Plan.1 Building on Australia’s longstanding investments in the sector, the first phase of Australia’s new Basic Education Quality and Access in Laos (BEQUAL) program will be delivered in 66 of the most educationally disadvantaged districts to: increase student participation – for example by assisting an estimated 450,000 children stay in school, with a particular focus on those that traditionally experience poorer education outcomes – girls, students with disabilities and children from ethnic groups improve learning environments – for example by building or rehabilitating new classrooms and by providing or upgrading water and sanitation facilities improve the availability of quality teaching – for example by training 360 ethnic women to become teachers in their communities.

1.1

Contextual issues and factors affecting the current situation

Despite economic growth averaging in excess of 7% per year in the last few decades, poverty remains high in Lao PDR, especially in rural areas and among people from ethnic groups. Poverty declined from 41.4% in 2002/03 to 28.8% in 2012/13.2 About 42% of poor people in Lao PDR, about 70 per cent of whom live in poor and remote areas, rely on subsistence farming, have low human endowments, lack access to infrastructure and services, and are vulnerable to external shock. Policies directed at increasing social inclusion, including investments in both human and physical capital are necessary to reach this largely rural population and lift them out of poverty permanently.3 Subsistence farming livelihoods impact primary school attendance, primary school completion rates and capacity to learn in the classroom. For example, comparing the 66 Districts targeted by BEQUAL and the national average shows wide differences in (relevant to this paper):4 Pupils per qualified teacher: >57 (BEQUAL) compared with <30 (Lao PDR national average). Access to services still needs to be improved for many rural poor: for about 30% of rural villages, it takes at least two-hours on foot to reach the nearest health dispensary, and only 69% of the bottom 40% of people by wealth have access to all weather roads. Other ethnic groups tend to be significantly poorer than the Lao-Tai population even when education and livelihood levels are controlled for.

The 8th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP 2016-2020) calls for tailored interventions to improve the welfare of the poorest groups, in particular ethnic groups. Investments proposed include the construction of basic education infrastructure, rural access roads and improvements in access to safe drinking water. The financial resources available to GoL for investment in development are limited and likely to be further constrained in the period to 2020. The overall GoL budget balance is in deficit, with total public debt currently around 67% of GDP (about USD7.7 billion). Public expenditure, including debt servicing, is projected to reach slightly more than 30% of GDP in the period 2016-2020 while revenue is projected to remain below 25% of GDP in the same period.5 Projections to 2020 suggest that most public expenditure will be allocated to recurrent salary expenditure (~36%), the capital budget (~32%), and debt repayment (~20%) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which leaves a small amount (~12%) for non-salary recurrent expenditure to support operation and maintenance of effective teaching environments in primary schools.6

1.2

Education policy landscape

The Ministry of Education and Sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Education For All strategy set out guiding directives in order to achieve targeted goals within the given timeframes. Starting in the new millennium, the Education Strategic Vision 2000-2020 focused on the universalisation of compulsory education at primary level, aiming at completely abolishing illiteracy. This Strategic Vision has as one of its objectives to expand school provision (converting incomplete to complete schools) especially in remote areas, improving the quality of teachers at all levels through pre-service and in-service training, and strengthening the operational plan. Then in 2005, Education For All National Plan of Action 2003-2015 (EFA NPA) was produced to prioritise increased access to complete primary schooling, especially in the 47 poorest districts, promoting multi-grade teaching, encouraging enrolment at the correct age and of girls and ethnic groups, and providing special training for teachers in remote and ethnic group areas. The pupil-teacher ratio formula first appeared in the Education Sector Development Framework 2009-2015 (ESDF), which highlighted political commitment to achieving EFA NPA targets with an increasing emphasis on teacher development, training, deployment, incentives, and societal responsibilities. Following that, the Decree on the Implementation of the Law on Education (2010) was created to stipulate the compulsory basic education, and the foreign language learning at primary education level. For specific instruction on management of teachers, the Decree on Teachers (2012) (also known as Decree 177) was created to stipulate the condition on teacher employment to accept graduates with or without teaching degrees provided that they meet the standards, criteria, and needs of the MoES. Article 11 followed the direction of the ESDF with the PTR of 34 for primary schools. The decree also set out the requirement for teaching internships, indicating that those with teaching training need no internship, but those without require nine months of internships before they are assessed and approved as teachers. The decree, however, did not stipulate any special incentive scheme for teachers as laid out in the ESDF (which were extensive), other than the 25% addition to their base salary, nor did it make any special allowance for annual leave.

The latest addition to the legislative body governing teachers, is the Guideline on the Development of the Annual Plan on Employment and Use of Teachers (2014) (also known as Guideline 0047, selected translation in English in Annex 1), which received ministerial endorsement in 2015. This Guideline acknowledged problems and challenges around employment and use of teachers, that the implementation remains unsuitable to the actual needs across the country, that teacher-training institutions still do not meet the needs of schools, and that there is a lack of monitoring/follow-up system for their graduates. The document pointed out that the employment and use of teachers in remote areas proved to be difficult and challenging despite incentives from the government.

1.3

Recent studies on teacher distribution

In 2015, the Education and Sport Research Centre (ESRC) produced a study paper on the imbalance of teacher distribution in pre- and primary, as well as secondary education. The objectives of the paper were to: 1. study the conditions and causes of insufficient distribution of teachers at the early childhood education and general education levels 2. inform policy implementation on teacher deployment and arrangement at the early childhood education and general education levels 3. identify solutions and proper measurements for the insufficient distribution of teachers at the early childhood education and general education levels. Within primary education, the ESRC study found that: Between 2008 and 2014, the number of public primary schools across the country was reduced, in contrast with that of private schools; the same for pupil ratio per teacher and per classroom. The main causes of these included decreased birth rate, and parental preference for private schools. Decree 177 stipulates a maximum PTR of 34. This means the current system with 2,708 teachers is in excess of theoretical needs. In reality, however, many schools still have insufficient teachers. The PTR should vary to suit class size contexts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for example a small village may have enough children for several teachers using multi-grade teaching methods but the PTR would likely be significantly less than 34. Planning for teachers at school level was a simple process without a systematic estimation of needs mentioned in the Decree 177, or the Guideline 0047. This was partly because the formula proposed in the Decree does not reflect the real need for teachers on the ground. Planning for needs, training, and deployment of teachers are still inconsistent, because plans for needs for teachers remain unclear, teacher training plans do not match with the plans of needs, and quota allocation remains limited. Schools with an over-supply of teachers are those in district centres, while insufficient supply remains in remote areas. Using Guideline 0047, the study sampled 129 primary schools (125 complete and 4 incomplete) and found 57 schools with a shortage of teachers, 37 with a surplus, and 35 schools with a balance. Deployment or redeployment of teachers is a challenge because relocating for work means relocating livelihoods and families which is a big decision. This study also built on the 2013 mid-term review of the Education Sector Development Plan (20112015), the National Education Quality Standards, and the 2015 analytical review of teacher allocation in primary schools in Lao PDR.

Purpose

The underlying program theory for BEQUAL includes an assumption that this paper explores: Institutional arrangements for the employment, deployment and allocation of teachers to schools provides an environment and motivation for quality teacher performance. The overall purpose of this paper is to provide information to support strategic and management decisions by the BEQUAL Steering Committee, DFAT and the team implementing BEQUAL. This study is intended to be read in conjunction with the 2015 ESRC study7, the 2013 mid-term review of the Education Sector Development Plan (2011-2015), the National Education Quality Standards, and the 2015 analytical review of teacher allocation in primary schools in Lao PDR. Our analysis complements these studies and their findings. This study aimed to identify: an effective and efficient way for employment and deployment of teachers an effective and accurate formula in calculating needs for teachers the causes of the current persistent employment/engagement of volunteer teachers, and the incentives for these volunteers. In order to answer these questions, we elicited the perceptions of education officials as to how they manage teacher employment and deployment. The focus of this paper was developed in close consultation with the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES), and received specific endorsement from the Minister for Education and Sports. The study was developed to complement two other studies being undertaken simultaneously through the Laos Australia Development Learning Facility and being guided by a Steering Committee of senior MoES officials, including the key stakeholders in the Department of Pre-Primary and Primary Education, and the Department of Teacher Education. The study was supported in its implementation by the MoES Department of Planning, as well as the ESRC, whose staff participated in the fieldwork for data collection.

1.5

Limitations and ethical considerations

Limited time was the main constraint in conducting the study as 20 days were available for fieldwork in 4 provinces, 9 districts and 43 primary schools including travel, meeting with provincial and district education offices and conducting semi-structured interviews (SSI) and key informant interviews (KII). The timing also remained a challenge as the study took place either side of the national and provincial elections for the national assembly so many government officials from central to village levels were distracted. Given the timing and budget for the study, it was not intended to be comprehensive. While every effort was made to cover the widest geographical situations possible for the study, given the small sample size, the study will not have statistical validity for generalisation across a wide population. Instead, the value of this study is in documenting some of the findings from the ground in relation to teacher employment and deployment, and is intended to complement existing studies to support decision-making at MoES at policy level.

In order to avoid information gathered being simply anecdotal, participants were asked to consent to having their names and positions recorded for the study (Annex 2). This has implication on the openness and depth of the information shared.

2. Methods and approach 2.1

Data collection and analysis

In order to understand how teachers are employed and deployed and whether the application of the regulations alleviate problems of imbalanced supply of teachers, we gathered information from two main sources: document review of existing policy papers and research studies (summarised in the above section) semi-structured interviews (SSI) with relevant stakeholders. For SSI, government officials responsible for finance (under administration), planning and statistics, preschool and primary education, organisation and personnel, and teacher development, from the Provincial Education and Sports Service (PESS) and the District Education and Sports Bureau (DESB), as well as school management participated in the study. The findings from SSI are presented in Section 3. BEQUAL Cohort 1 districts with an imbalanced supply of teachers were purposely selected. Because of the limited timeframe and budget, only four provinces were included in the sample (Chart 1). DESB selected the schools to participate in the study, six from each district. Information from the interviews was recorded in a standard matrix developed specifically for the purpose of this study (Annex 3). Each interview was recorded separately and comparison made after the completion of fieldwork. The main form of analysis was frequency analysis of the responses. More complex statistical analysis was not considered useful given the small sample size. The study team leader ensured quality information before analysis and checked for accuracy and utility during information processing.

3. Findings Our findings confirm and contrast some details reported in the 2015 ESRC study on the imbalance of teacher distribution. This section elaborates areas that were not fully covered in the ESRC Study in terms of institutional arrangements for teacher distribution, and some of the root causes of the teacher allocation and deployment problems. Institutional arrangements for teacher planning and recruitment, as regulated, are summarised in Annex 1.

3.1

Institutional arrangements (observed in practice)

To understand the institutional arrangement for teacher employment, allocation, and deployment, we interviewed education officials at three levels: school, DESB, and PESS. 3.1.1 Calculating the need for teachers At the school level, our findings confirmed those of the ESRC Study: that needs for teachers are calculated based on a projection for the following academic year of new pupils (children becoming school age), the number of teachers due to retire, and the requests from teachers to relocate. The needs for teachers are also based generally on the number of physical classrooms in each school. This, according to schools in Khammouane, is to reduce the number of teachers having to teach multi-grade classes. At DESB level, the practice differs slightly between districts (Chart 2). Most DESB interviewed voiced that Decree 177 does not answer the actual needs for teachers at school level. Following the formula set out in the decree would mean distorting the real situation and would cause a sever lack of teachers. Instead, DESB followed the requests from schools, as described above.

Toomlarn

At PESS level, the general practice also supports the findings from ESRC Study in that Decree 177 is not being applied, except in Saravan where they had started incorporating Decree 177 and Guideline 0047 as well as directing DESB to do so (Box 1, and Chart 3). However, it is still early in the process to assess the effectiveness of this practice. Box 1 : Incorporating Guideline 0047 in Saravan Saravan was the only province covered in this study that had implemented Guideline 0047. They found that it better reflects their teacher supply situation and helps them request for quotas for teachers with more accuracy linked to their real needs. They, therefore, disregarded the simple directives in Decree 177, and rely mainly on Guideline 0047 for their PTR calculation. Saravan DESB uses detailed matrix (Chart 7) to keep track of their physical classrooms, number of pupils, and teachers per school. With this set of data, they follow the recommendation from the Guideline and plot the total standard number of teachers a school should have, and then compare this number to that of their existing teachers. They then have a basis for requesting for more teachers that actually reflects their real needs. From Chart 7, education managers in Saravan could see that one school (Narek, for example) have an oversupply of teachers, two schools (Watkang and Maknao Nyai) have a shortage, and three schools (Nongsano, Satid Sangkou, and Sepon) have urgent needs for more teachers or their education outcomes could be hampered. This set of data, together with other information such as school location (distance to town) and existing number of volunteer teachers, can help schools, DESB, and PESS in prioritising their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;most urgent needsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schools from the rest when requesting for quotas.

An interesting practice to note was that of PESS in Savannakhet, where, unlike Phongsaly and Khammouane, they used the Decree 177 formula in calculating their needs for teachers. However, when submitting their annual quota request to MoES, PESS used the total needs submitted from DESB and schools. Chart 3 : Calculating needs for teachers at provincial level PESS

PESS incorporates both Decree 177 and Guideline 0047 in calculating needs for teachers. Moreover, PESS developed database formats for DESB and schools to follow.

3.1.2 Employing, Allocating, and Deploying Teachers We found that recruitment has been a passive process, responding to applicants’ needs for employment rather than the education sector’s needs for good teachers (Chart 4). Applicant screenings vary between provinces, with the most thorough in our samples being PESS Khammouane, which included testing for drug use in addition to the list stipulated in Guideline 0047. Chart 4 : Variations in the teacher recruitment process Recruitment Process Applications are screened for documents listed in Guideline 0047. Successful applicants are placed as fulltime volunteers, and deployed to schools most in need (primarily remote areas). When PESS receive quota allocation from MoES, examinations of the existing volunteer teachers are organised to place the successful candidates on government payrolls. Variation Khammouane

Includes drug screening (urine) test

Savannakhet

Sometimes ignores the score sheets that come with candidates’ Teacher Training Certificate, because sticking to it would be disqualifying a significant number of candidates

Consistent with the ESRC Study, we found that PESS is the main decision maker on teacher employment, allocation, and deployment, without much input from DESB apart from providing lists of existing teachers on ‘waiting list’, the so-called volunteer teachers (Chart 5). Prior to arriving at decisions on individual to place on the payroll (quota), PESS looks at the requests from DESB and schools, conducts assessment (examination, observation, interview) of individual teachers, and then invites DESB to hear of the decisions, and place objection if any. DESB role is to execute PESS decisions by informing the individual teachers accordingly. However, DESB is responsible for the first step of the employment when graduate teachers submit their applications, usually soon after graduation.

“DESB are not responsible for employing or deploying teachers, only for submitting needs for teachers to PESS based on needs from schools. The decision on hiring comes from PESS to ensure transparency and suitability, unlike in the past.”

“At present, PESS is responsible for [hiring] to avoid problems around suitability and transparency that had happened in the past. PESS decisions are based on plans from schools and DESB.”

“Sometimes DESB deploys new (volunteer) teachers. Sometimes schools take them directly and report the ‘new hire’ to DESB and PESS. However, decisions on where to place quota rest only with PESS (following tests and interviews).”

“DESB will hear decisions on quota placement after PESS have made the choices. At present, only PESS is responsible for [decisions on quota placement] to avoid injustice.”

PESS Phongsaly No detail of the selection criteria or factors behind hiring decisions was offered from PESS, only that decisions were made based on actual needs.

PESS Khammouane Details of selection criteria expressed

PESS Savannakhet Details of selection criteria expressed Note: Pre 2005: PESS managed quotas

PESS Saravan Only selection criteria mentioned was the length of time a teacher had been a volunteer. In other words, teachers who have been a volunteer longest are prioritised for quota placement.

2005-9: DESB managed quotas 2009 – present: PESS managed quotas

We found that decisions on allocating available quota to individual teachers are generally made based on the length of time the teachers have worked as a volunteer without pay. Those who have volunteered the longest are placed first, after having passed PESS assessment. Because of the ongoing imbalance between the number of existing volunteer teachers and quota available, there is always tension around allocation. All the DESB respondents said that they have not always agreed with PESS on their decisions. Deployment approach differs between districts and provinces (Chart 5, Chart 6) though with the same intention of ensuring the least subsequent relocation requests from teachers. A notable practice was found in Phongsaly district where teachers work on a 5-year rotational basis, except those who are near retirement or women with children (who are given priority to choose to stay in one place/home base longer than 5 years). The idea behind this, as voiced by schools from Phongsaly, is so that the hardship of teaching in remote schools is shared. This is also made possible by having accommodation facilities for teachers available within school vicinity, usually provided by the villages. Another similar example was found in Toomlarn district. Here, however, the rotation was not as systematic due to the high rate of relocation that appeared to be a feature of the district. Schoolteachers interviewed reported that they have been working on a rotational basis since they started, sometimes as frequently as every year. The rotation is mainly to fill the gap in schools with severe shortage of teachers. A contrasting example was found across Savannakhet province, where teachers prefer to be deployed anywhere away from their home villages. Discussion with PESS and DESB revealed that many ethnic groups within Savannakhet have a tradition of preferring to gain personal or career Teacher employment and deployment in Lao PDR: reasons behind the current challenges Page 9

advancement outside their birthplace. While this may help to alleviate problems around relocation, it poses a challenge on language barriers between teachers and pupils of different ethnic groups. Chart 6 : Variations in deployment approach PESS

Causes of persistent engagement of volunteer teachers

The number of volunteer teachers in each province is quite dynamic (Chart 7). The reason behind this variation is beyond the scope of this study. However, it is worthwhile noting the trends. For example, in the academic year 2011-2012 volunteer teachers in Phongsaly, Savannakhet, and Saravan decreased, while those in Khammouane increased. Then in 2012-2013, the number in Savannakhet and Saravan dropped, while that in Phongsaly and Khammouane rose. Chart 7 : Number of volunteer teachers in primary education 2010-2015 Academic Year

Following discussions with PESS, DESB, schools, and teachers in our sample provinces, we identified several reasons behind the continued use of volunteer teachers: Reason 1: Aligning with physical infrastructure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; schools need to have at least the same number of teachers as the total physical classrooms if the number of pupils exceeds the limit for multi-grade teaching. For example, a primary school with 5 classrooms of more than 17 pupils in each would need at least 5 teachers. Any school with less teachers would request more, even though the total number of pupils does not exceed 170 (34 PTR x 5 classrooms). Chart 8 demonstrates how this situation looks in reality using the case of some schools in Saravan with current needs for more teachers.

* 0 classroom where there are pupils means multi-grade teaching offered in another classroom

Schools like Nongsano and Satid Sangkou need more teachers (Chart 8). It is unreasonable that there continues to be only one teacher in each of these schools. Even where there are six teachers (e.g. Sepon) there are still too many classrooms for these teachers to manage effectively. Many schools in the three other provinces in our sample showed a similar picture. For this reason, and to be able to ensure education for all as well as maintaining a reasonable workload on individual teachers, schools continue to request for more teachers, and employ volunteers in the meantime. Reason 2: Challenges facing PESS and DESB – in relation to the situation in Reason 1 above where DESB and PESS should play a role in redeploying teachers from schools with surplus staff, it has proven to be a challenge. Consistent with findings in the ESRC Study, relocating staff is challenging because it directly impacts livelihoods of the individuals. While this challenge is being addressed by deploying teachers to remote villages from the start, managing the existing pool of surplus teachers continues to be unresolved. As a result, while there is a ministerial directive to halt employing volunteer teachers, in practice DESB and PESS have not been able to provide alternatives on the ground to schools in need. Reason 3: Volunteer teaching as an entry-point – new graduates ‘agree’ to work for no compensation (as a “volunteer”) as a way of securing a permanent civil service position when one becomes available. Of the teachers interviewed who had been appointed to a permanent (quota) position within the last five years, all said that they started as volunteers. While this is not an ideal livelihood situation, graduates accept volunteerism because it is a way to get their foot in the door for a secure salary in the near future (Chart 9). Most of those interviewed had another source of livelihood, mainly farming, to support they daily consumption. As it has been a common practice to start as volunteers, new graduates did not appear to mind a couple of years of working without pay. However, the pressure starts when individuals have volunteered for more than three years. Another related reason stated by respondents is that primary school teaching is one of the easiest programs to enter. Students with limited resource tend to get into teaching. Therefore, after graduation, they also tend to not have very many choices other than accepting to work on a voluntary basis, waiting for an opportunity to eventually get paid.

Saravan “My motivation for being a (volunteer) teacher is my love for teaching. It is what I was trained for. To go into other [careers] would be difficult.” Teacher in Toomlarn

Impact of insufficient quotas

The national policy direction is to move away from the quota system to hiring based on needs (EFA NPA 2003-2015), because the current quota system has a direct impact on how many teachers can employed, and the resulting practice of teaching graduates volunteering until a quota is available for paid employment. Each year the government allocates a number of quotas for civil servant employment based on state budget and local administration needs.8 Line ministries such as MoES work with their given allocation from MoHA, which is provided to provincial level as well as between early childhood, primary, secondary, and tertiary education sub-sectors. Pressured by the EFA targets of expanding complete schools, as well as everyday demand at community level, schools and DESB needed to ensure enough teachers for their schools. It is understandable, therefore, that without quota allocation, they resort to the use of volunteers so that schools/DESB can fill their vacancies. This mechanism is also attractive to teacher graduates for reasons discussed above. 3.2.2

Impact of different channels for salary payment

Teachers across the country are not paid on the same day. Some have received their salary payment on time for the past two years like in Phongsaly and Khammouane. Others have had their salary and allowance payment continually delayed for two months on average, such as the case in Savannakhet and Saravan (Chart 9). Chart 9: Salary payment by province and district Phongsaly Salary on time

Impact of binding policy on primary and other levels of education

Guideline 0047 was produced to address the current teacher supply and related problems. However, instead of being immediately rolled out, it adds another level to what is already a complicated system. The Guideline’s strategy to address primary education problems is being tied in the same document to those for the more complicated situation of secondary education, resulting in it not being used as intended. This is understandable because the education sector regards primary and lower secondary schooling as basic education. The responsibility for managing both levels is within the same DESB. So rolling out the Guideline requires consideration for applicability at secondary education as well. Box 2 : Communication of MoES regulations and guidelines In Khammouane, PESS had a copy of Guideline 0047 but chose not to disseminate it to DESB because, according to them, it would create further confusion regarding teacher allocation, especially at secondary education level. In this respect, the Guideline is currently a lost opportunity because it was designed to help eliminate the current trouble with the broad-based application of the PTR of 34 at primary schools, but does not get implemented because of the potential complication at secondary education level.

4. Conclusions Findings from this study are intended to complement other studies in the analysis of basic education quality outcomes in Laos. This study found that while the Guideline on Teachers (0047/MoES/2014) was formulated to alleviate problems around teacher allocation and deployment, the dissemination and application of it has not been consistent, resulting in a lost opportunity to solve this important primary education issue. The approach to teacher recruitment and allocation is fragmented: Vertically – there is poor integration between functions, responsibilities and practice for teacher recruitment and allocation by the line ministry, PESS, DESB and schools Horizontally – there are many departments in MoES with functions, responsibilities and practice for teacher recruitment and allocation; as well as other ministries, particularly MoF and MoHA. There is an opportunity to simplify the administrative processes for teacher recruitment and allocation to ensure more efficient use of limited salary recurrent budget for primary education and to ensure effective delivery of education outcome targets in the NSEDP 2016-2020. The study also identified that the quota system of employment has a direct impact on the ability of DESB and PESS to manage its human resource for optimal education outcomes. This is coupled with uncertainty around disbursement of salary compensation for staff because of different financial channels for funding salaries. Inconsistent understanding of the total remuneration package, in particular what social security deductions are used for and how allowances are calculated and paid create further frustration in teachers. Given these reasons, it is understandable that DESB and PESS, as implementing agencies, are unable to do much because the management of financial and human resources to meet policy objectives are out of their control. Additionally, a specific constraint in attempting to address problems in primary education teacher allocation is linking the policy to other levels of education. A promising directive such as Guideline 0047 is now hindered by complications with its application to secondary education. In addition to the recommendations listed in the 2015 ESRC Study, we would like to offer several points for consideration: 1. Overall, we found diversity in practice on the ground at school, district, and provincial levels. It is not surprising, therefore, that any policy directives would affect each locality differently. We recommend close follow-up with PESS, DESB, and schools after issuing a new policy or guideline. This, of course, has an implication for financial allocation from an already limited pool of resource for a monitoring and evaluation purpose. 2. Given the ongoing needs on the ground for more teachers, and the limited budget within the education sector, MoES, PESS, and DESB might benefit from reaching an agreement on the number of teachers needed to run the current number of schools nationwide, taking into consideration the particular context of different areas. Construction of new school facilities should also take into account the budget needed to employ teachers. Once the human resource need is identified, MoES, PESS, and DESB could make a decision on how best to manage the gaps in teacher supply given the resource constraint. 3. Lastly, we suggest considering the available financial resources prior to rolling out new policies for implementation. EFA’s push for expansion of complete schools without sufficient budget for infrastructure improvement or teacher development and employment created a burden on local Teacher employment and deployment in Lao PDR: reasons behind the current challenges Page 14

implementers. Teachers were made to teach multi-grades with minimal support, and less than ideal classroom environment. New teachers had to opt for volunteering because there is not enough budget to pay everyone. Incentives (such as housing and relocation allowance) that were designed to draw more qualified teachers are also omitted all together. Perhaps volunteer teaching would not have occurred if policies and plans were developed with accurate financial projections as the basis. This type of process usually takes more time, but might force education managers to be creative and innovative in planning with limited resources.

Annexes

Teacher employment and deployment in Lao PDR: reasons behind the current challenges Page Annexes 1

Annex 1: Guideline on the development of the annual plan and employment and use of teachers (2014) Selected translation of sections relevant to this study Teacher allocation must be based on the number of classrooms, meaning one teacher per one classroom. For schools with more than 150 pupils and with five grades, there should be 6 teachers allocated, including a principal. In the case of complete schools in remote areas with 121-149 pupils, if there are 5 classrooms/grades, there should be 6 teachers allocated, including a principal. Complete schools with 51-120 pupils should have no more than 5 teachers including principal, and offer multi-grade teaching; incomplete schools should have 3 teachers (for remote areas). Complete schools with 31-50 pupils should have no more than 3 teachers including a principal, and offer multi-grade teaching; incomplete schools should have 2 teachers. Incomplete schools with 30 pupils or less should have 1-2 teachers as appropriate.

Steps for developing plans for needs for teachers that included responsibilities at school, district, province, and the MoES levels: School administrators are supposed to convene meetings with teachers, Village Education Development Committee (VEDC), DESB, parents association, and concerning parties to consultant with them on the planning for needs for teacher by having carried out information gathering on numbers of teachers, pupils, children outside of schools, estimate of teachers for the next five years, and improving plans for school development, and then send these to DESB in October of every year using the Statistical Table for Primary Schools (provided by MoES). At district level, DESB is supposed to plan for needs for teachers within the district based on the real needs of schools, estimate of needs for teachers in the next five years, and develop plans of needs for teachers for the district and send to PESS. The steps involved in this process include: calling a meeting with schools within district to plan for needs together developing plans and collecting information on needs for teachers from each school according to the format provided by MoES surveying, collecting, and analysing needs for teachers in schools that are targets and priorities collecting information on teachers in various forms (resignation, retirement, illness, relocation, deceased, etc.) analysing and developing plans for each school in the district submitting the plan to PESS. At provincial level, PESS is supposed to plan for annual needs for teachers and estimate needs for the next five years based on the real needs of districts, and develop plans for needs for teachers and submitting it to the MoES by December of every year. The steps involved in this process are the same as for DESB, but involving district level partners instead of schools. At ministerial level, the Department of Personnel follows similar steps above and submits the total needs for personnel (quota) to the government through the Ministry of Home Affairs in February every year. Teacher employment and deployment in Lao PDR: reasons behind the current challenges Page Annexes 2

Employment and use of teachers prioritise remote schools, government focal areas, various projects/programs, replacing loss of teachers, vacancies, and newly established school.

Steps for the recruitment of new teachers (at PESS): Accepting application from graduates Sorting applications Organising written examinations to test basic general knowledge, technical knowledge, foreign language (as appropriate to local contexts), and computer skills (as appropriate to local contexts), as well as individual interviews Application to be considered for a government teacher includes: A personal record (resume) using MoES format (4 sets) Copy of ID card and family book, with village certification (1 set) Certificate and score sheets, certified by relevant authority (1 set) Certificate, ID card, personal record, family book and criminal record clearance, health certificate, residential certificate, and referral letter from graduating institution must contain correct date of birth and family name, as well as the length of study program. Comparative list of grades together with summary table Request letter (from PESS to MoES) to accept a new state employee (specifying sex, technical qualification and teaching grade, clear name of school and district to be deployed based on the district and schools allocation from MoES) Authorities at all levels must check the documents thoroughly and certify the copies from the originals to avoid fraud.

Planning for teacher training: Department of Teacher Development, Department of Technical Education, Department of Tertiary Education, and Department of Sports and Arts (should) collaborate with relevant authorities to develop plans for teacher training based on (1) student numbers, classroom numbers, and classroom/school expansion, and school numbers, (2) estimate of teacher loss through various forms, and (3) actual statistics of insufficient supply of teachers, and to pass this plan onto the Department of Planning to consolidate teacher training plan across the sector Department of Teacher Development (et al.), are responsible for supplying statistical information and developing plans of estimate for teacher training needs, with specifics for ethnicity and spoken language, and pass this onto the Department of Planning Department of Teacher Development, together with related authorities consolidate teacher development plan and allocate training responsibility to each teacher training institution. In terms of actual teacher training, Department of Teacher Development, Department of Technical Education, Department of Tertiary Education, and Department of Sports and Arts are responsible for planning the infrastructure and materials for teacher training, as well as plans for upgrading teachers according to actual needs in each school across the country. In terms of planning for needs for teachers the Department of Personnel is responsible for consolidating plans for needs for teachers from PESS to make up the national plan for needs for teachers and send the processed information and requests to the Department of Planning and Department of Finance to form the basis for planning for teacher development as well as preparing a budget request to submit to the Ministry of Home Affairs to the government.

Teacher employment and deployment in Lao PDR: reasons behind the current challenges Page Annexes 3

In terms of employment and use of teachers, the Department of Personnel collaborates with relevant parties to ensure that the number of teachers allocated for each year are employed to schools according to the needs for teachers in that particular year. The Department of Pre- and Primary Education, Department of Sports and Arts, Department of Teacher Development, Department of Planning, Department of Finance, and Statistics Centre must coordinate closely with the Department of Personnel to ensure the correct supply of teachers based on the plan previously developed as priority. Under this Guideline PESS are responsible for: employing teachers according to the allocated quotas from MoES requesting approval of the newly employed teachers from the Minister of Education issuing the Agreement (from MoES) to DESB and schools organising pedagogical trainings for the new teachers reporting the new recruitment to MoES filing the new employees informing and forwarding the Agreement on the new teachers to relevant parties to calculate salaries according to financial rules. Under this Guideline DESB are responsible for: working with PESS to employ teachers according to the quota for each year issuing an agreement to deploy teachers to each school organising pedagogical trainings for the new teachers providing lists of employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names, as well as calculating salary according to the financial rules filing the new employees. Under this Guideline Schools are responsible for: receiving the allocated quota each year allocating grades and hours, as well as providing pedagogical advice for the new teachers periodically monitoring and evaluating the performance of the teachers. Following up, monitoring, and evaluating the above processes are the responsibility of the Department of Personnel and Department of Inspection.
