JAKARTA - Commission X of the House of Representatives has urged the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) to accommodate 193,000 honorary teachers who are still waiting for status confirmation. This pressure came after the Deputy Chairman of Commission X of the DPR, Abdul Fikri Faqih, accepted the aspirations of honorary teachers.

In fact, Abdul Fikri admitted that many honorary teachers had passed the PPPK passing grade, but had not yet received a position so they could not work.

As a result, many of them are forced to borrow money from relatives and neighbors to meet their daily needs, because until now they have not received confirmation from the Ministry of Education and Culture.

He also read the honorary teacher's letter which stated that he was no longer working because he was waiting for formation, so he traded children's toys by walking around.

"That's a true story, they are our teachers who have served since 2015. We don't know how to recruit them but they fill the vacancies of the teachers as honorary ones," said Ahmad Faqih in a written statement quoted by Antara, Saturday, June 11.

Meanwhile, member of Commission X DPR RI Ratih Megasari Singkarru also conveyed the condition of honorary teachers who passed the PPPK passing grade, but had not yet received a formation.

"We want them not to escape the attention of the Minister of Education and Technology to fight for their fate," he said.

In addition, according to him, honorary staff who work in the administration and school guards are also worried, because there is a rule to eliminate honorary workers in 2023.

Therefore, both of them asked the Ministry of Education and Culture to fight for the fate of the honorary workers in the educational environment.
