JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the MPR Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) hopes that the appointment of honorary religious teachers to become civil servants (PNS) through a government employee scheme with a work agreement (PPPK) will be increased in order to meet the needs in each region.

"We appreciate the government's program to appoint 1 million teachers and currently the appointment of hundreds of thousands of teachers has been carried out," he said when met after attending a national dialogue with the theme "Professor of Character, Key to Education Awakening in the Digital Era" in the hall of the Kudus Regency DPRD, Central Java, quoted from Antara, Saturday, November 26.

However, he said, the number of teachers appointed was still dominated by general teachers, which estimated to reach 560,000 teachers, while religious teachers were only 56,000 teachers.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Religion, he said, proposed only 129,000 teachers.

This, he said, is a fact that the most important country is present so that teachers can carry out their roles properly. Teachers will of course also work optimally because it has become their own demands.

However, he said, it is important for a country to be present to present conditions in which teachers can work optimally. Present side by side and budget justice, including budget justice because the Ministry of Religion and the Ministry of Education budget are not yet proportional.

"What is desired is more proportional and does not have to be the same because of course there are more public schools," said HNW.

On that occasion, Hidayat Nur Wahid also appreciated the teacher's day and the teacher's day commemoration was held.

Other talks presented were Digital Forensic expert Solichul Huda discussing technological advances and their influence on student character.

He reminded teachers who are used to using social media to reflect as educators, so that students who are active on social media can also imitate.

"Because it is not uncommon for cases on social media to lead to legal cases, so we must make the best use of them. Remember that digital traces will be easy to track," said Solichul Huda.
