JAKARTA - A total of 486 teachers have passed the 2021 passing grade in West Sumatra (West Sumatra) so far have not received any placement of duties. The teachers complained about their fate to Commission V of the West Sumatra DPRD.

Representatives of the First and Private Priority Teacher Forum (FGPPNS) Nelvi Wanrifa said they had been voicing this since October 2022, even before the announcement of the second grade passing teacher was announced.

"We have brought this issue to the DPRD but at that time it was not possible for an audience to occur and then we attended the DPR RI with colleagues from other provinces. We brought the results of the meeting back to the regions to meet the governor, deputy governor and secretary of the Education Office last day with Commission V of the West Sumatra DPRD," he said during an audience with Commission V of the West Sumatra DPRD in Padang, West Sumatra, Thursday, January 5.

He hopes that there will be a solution to this meeting and his colleagues will get the placement of their duties as PPPK teachers.

"We are high school, vocational and special school teachers who come from Padang, Pasaman, Bukittinggi, Pariaman and Padang Pariaman. We hope there will be formations for this year," he said, quoted by Antara.

Head of the West Sumatra Education Office Barlius said that they passed the 2021 passing grade with 2,523 teachers and 1,926 teachers got their assignments placed.

"Some have returned to early school and some have gone to other schools until some have left the province," he added.

According to him, this teacher teaches entrepreneurship and indeed their diploma is not in sync with the subject but they have taught the subject since 10 years ago.

"We continue to coordinate with the center more than three times and hopefully there will be a solution," he said.

Chairman of Commission V of the West Sumatra DPRD, Daswanto, said that 486 teachers had not received placements, even though they had been honorary teachers since 2001.

"We will ask the provincial government to find a solution to find a formation for the teacher," he said.
