JAKARTA - The Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) opens opportunities for all honorary teachers to have the opportunity to take online tests so they can become State Civil Servants (ASN) through the Government Employees with Contract Agreement (PPPK) scheme.
The Ministry of Education and Culture targets the appointment of 1 million honorary teachers to become civil servants through the PPPK scheme. The appointment process will be carried out next year.
Mendikbud Nadiem Makarim invited honorary teachers to participate in trying out opportunities to become ASN through the PPPK route. He also reminded that the test would be carried out in 2021. So don't miss it.
"In 2021, all honorary teachers can simultaneously take the graduation test to become PPPK. That means they can get a fair chance to prove their eligibility to become ASN," he said in a webinar, Tuesday, November 17.
Nadiem said, if honorary teachers graduate to become ASN PPPK, their welfare level will automatically increase as well. This is because the salary earned will be supported by the central government budget.
Furthermore, he emphasized, the appointment step was clear evidence of the government in improving the welfare of honorary teachers who were not yet civil servants.
"In the future, it will become one of our strategies to embrace the honorary teachers and provide a fair opportunity for them to participate in improving their welfare," he said.
For your information, honorary teachers are the spearhead of the education system, but their protection and wages are very minimal without any minimum standards. Therefore, starting in 2021, the Ministry of Education and Culture will recruit 1 million honorary teachers to become state civil servants through the PPPK mechanism.
Kemendikbud emphasized that all honorary teachers can take part in the selection without any special requirements, with the opportunity for up to three tests. The Ministry of Education and Culture will also provide assistance and guidance for honorary teachers to be ready to take the selection test that will be held online.
However, local governments must first submit teacher formations to the central government. Currently, only 200,000 teacher formations have been proposed by the regional government, whereas the central government has provided 1 million teacher formations.
The appointment of honorary teachers to ASN employees has been hampered by a number of issues, such as a lack of formation and budget. With this new scheme, there will be no more obstacles in appointing honorary teachers to become ASN PPPK. The central government guarantees the salary budget for honorary teachers who pass this selection in the APBN.
