General Chairperson of Forgupaki Abraham Pellokila hopes that the DPRD can fight for the welfare of Christian religious teachers with honorary status. He also explained that one of the Christian religious teachers who received inappropriate wages is now teaching at the Malacca Jaya 10 State Elementary School (SDN), Duren Sawit, East Jakarta.

"We hope that in the future these honorary teachers (considered). There are teachers whose salaries are Rp. 300 thousand per month and enter five days per week. Entering work at 15.00 hours, teachers at SD Malaka Jaya 10. There is also a salary of Rp. 500 thousand, some are Rp. 700 thousand, "said Abraham when reporting to the DKI DPRD.

Abraham also complained about the difficulty of Christian religious teachers being recorded in the Basic Education Data at the Ministry of Education because of the principal's policy which was deemed not to intend to input data.

"Sometimes it's difficult there. There are teachers who have taught for years who have not been included in the Dapodik. If the teacher is not included in the Dapodik, where can he become a PPPK teacher or where can he become a contract teacher," he explained.

DKI Jakarta DPRD member Ima Mahdiah admitted that she had forwarded this report to the DKI Jakarta Education Office. Ima suggested that the DKI Provincial Government follow up on the findings. He also wants the principal who cut the salaries of honorary teachers to be fired from his position.

"Pak PJ Gubernur saya tidak ada respons, ya, tapi dari Disdik akan menelusuri itu dulu. Jadi, kami kasih waktu. kalau memang ada, sosinya apa? Kalau saya, relomendasiin dipertihkan saja, dipercat," urai Ima.
