The Government Disbursed Rp335 Trillion for MBG and Promoted MBG Kitchen Core Employees to PPPK, Honorer Teachers Cried

JAKARTA - Imagine if hundreds of thousands of young Indonesians could study for free at the best campuses like ITB. Indonesia may not lack smart people. Can it? It could be.

With the MBG budget reaching hundreds of trillion per year, all Indonesian children can receive free education.

Unfortunately, the government prefers to allocate Rp335 trillion in 2026 for MBG.

This of course makes netizens angry. That much money can be allocated to pay the salary of honor teachers who only get Rp. 300,000 per month, repair damaged schools, to provide scholarships for school children and students.

Ironically, the core employees of the MBG Kitchen will be appointed as PPPK as of February 1, 2026. Watch the complete information on VOI.id.
