Nadiem Makarim Designs Incentives For Teachers In Frontier, Remote And Disadvantaged Areas

CENTRAL LOMBOK - The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) has designed incentives for teachers who are placed in frontier, remote and disadvantaged areas (3T) so that they are more enthusiastic about teaching.

"That's what we are trying to design what incentives can be done so that teachers are much more enthusiastic," said Mendikbudristek Nadiem Anwar Makarim on the sidelines of reviewing face-to-face learning (PTM) at SD Negeri Dasan Baru, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Thursday, October 7th.

The man who is familiarly called Mas Minister said that one of the things he did to motivate the spirit of 3T regional teachers was to provide special regional allowances. It's one of those programs that keeps running.

"That's a significant allowance for special areas, but we will see in the future what else we can do so that teachers and school principals want to move to areas that need teachers," he said.

In addition to designing incentives, said Mas Minister, his party has also opened the formation of 3T regional placement teachers.

According to him, there is a difference in the number of people willing to teach with the number of teachers needed in the 3T area.

"We can't force the teacher to want a location, but there is a difference in the number of people who want to be there and the number of needs," he said.

Head of the Education and Culture Office of NTB Aidy Furqan also admitted that there was still a shortage of high school and vocational teachers in the 3T area.

For this reason, his party will distribute first aid teachers evenly to remote areas that are still lacking.

Likewise, those who do not qualify as P3K will strive to become educators in remote areas through regional teachers assigned by the governor.

"Later, if those who don't pass become first aiders, we will process them through regional teachers assigned by the governor, like the results of the teacher competency exam some time ago," he said.
