JAKARTA Memories of today, 10 years ago, November 13, 2014, the Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud), Anies Baswedan invited the Indonesian people to honor teachers. This effort was made so that the nation's leaders would be more open in their eyes to the difficulty of teacher life, especially honorary teachers.

Previously, Anies often complained about the salary of a small teacher. He gave an example of the salaries of honorary teachers who do not have standards. In fact, teachers are an important foundation for educating the nation's children.

Iwan Fals once stripped the fate of a less prosperous teacher. He expressed his heart regarding the unfortunate fate of a teacher through the song Guru Oemar Bakrie in 1981. The song iwan Fals left his heart cut: but why is the salary of Oemar Bakrie's teacher like being castrated.

Iwan Fals' view is actually still relevant in today's era. Many of the teachers are still far from prosperous. Moreover, the fate of honorary teachers. Honorary teachers like being a definition are actually heroes without a sign of service. The services of Indonesian teachers educating Indonesian children are not properly appreciated.

The teacher's income is at its level. Their daily lives are difficult to ask for forgiveness. They didn't actually remain silent. Protests were done. However, no one takes it seriously. Anies Baswedan also tried to capture the teacher's wishes.

The Chancellor of Paramadina University feels that teachers have never received the appropriate award. The state is considered not yet present in the welfare of teachers. Anies considers the presence of teachers to be important. Teachers are figures who are able to prepare for the future.

The success of teaching teachers is of course the determinant of the success of their students. Anies also tried to believe that the government should make the welfare of teachers a priority. If he was in power, Anies promised to fight for the fate of the teacher.

"In fact, teachers must be the key, not curriculum. Teacher quality must be improved. The number must also be increased. If necessary, bring in professors to teach in schools and campuses so that the effect is not only long term, but also short term," said Anies Baswedan as quoted by the COMPASS.com page, March 26, 2014.

Ulam's beloved peak arrives. Anies actually received a mandate to become Minister of Education and Culture during the Joko Widodo (Jokowi) administration since October 2014. Anies' flashy position moved Anies to be able to help teachers. He wants to improve the quality and honor the teacher.

Anies also invited all Indonesian people to honor teachers on November 13, 2014. This effort was made so that the Indonesian people would move the hearts of the nation's leaders to prosper the lives of a teacher.

Anies saw himself that the government had not taken the fate of teachers seriously. Teachers are considered as complementary to teaching and learning activities. No more. This pattern must be changed immediately. Anies also promised to move in the welfare of the teachers.

"The way a nation treats teachers is the way a nation prepares the future. You appreciate today's teacher, meaning you appreciate the future. If we don't respect teachers, then we don't respect the future because we leave the future preparation to the teachers."

"The welfare of teachers is very important. That's why I will start the movement to glorify teachers. The salary will be improved. For this reason, this ministry must encourage this as a movement. Education is our business. Who made us educated? Teacher," said Anies as quoted by Detik.com page, November 13, 2014.
