Thailand's Office of Private Education Commission is putting plans in place to help to retain teachers in private schools by providing more academic advances. Opec's secretary-general Payom Chinnawong said many private schools, especially small ones, suffer a brain drain, as many teachers there often feel they lack job security or receive lower pay and poorer welfare than teachers in public schools. So, many teachers consider teaching at private schools temporarily and move to public schools as soon as they get the chance," Mr Payom said. Opec has recognised this problem and the agency is trying to help private schools cope, he said. The kru chamnankan title comes with an extra 3,500 baht per month, and the kru chamnankan piset level pays 12,000 baht extra each month.
