JAKARTA - The National Coordinator of the Association for Education and Teachers (P2G), Satriwan Salim, admitted that he was worried that the Joint Decree (SKB) of the Three Ministers regarding uniforms for students and education personnel would not be implemented.
"I am worried that this SKB will not be implemented, because the sanctions are not clear. We know that in the context of regional autonomy, what sanctions can be given, it is impossible for dismissal or even harsh sanctions, at least just an appeal, ”said Satriwan when contacted from Jakarta, reported by Antara, Thursday, February 4.
The Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud), the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Ministry of Religion issued a Decree on the Use of Uniforms and Attributes for Students, Educators and Education Personnel in School Environments Organized by Local Governments at the Primary and Secondary Education Levels.
In the SKB, it is explained that regional governments and school principals are obliged to revoke the rule that requires the use of uniforms with religious attributes no later than 30 days after the decision is made.
If there is a violation of this joint decision, then there are a number of sanctions that can be given specifically to those who violate the local government can impose sanctions on school principals, educators, and / or education personnel, the governor imposes sanctions on the regent or mayor, the Ministry of Home Affairs imposes sanctions on the governor , and the Ministry of Education and Culture sanctions schools regarding BOS and other government assistance.
"Therefore, the sanctions are not too strict. I don't expect too big a result because Permendikbud 45/2014 on school uniforms itself has not been revised, "he added.
Permendikbud 45/2014 issued in the era of Mendikbud Mohammad Nuh regulates school uniforms. The Permendikbud also provides opportunities for schools and regions to implement an appeal to use or prohibit the hijab for female students.
In the attachment to the Minister of Education and Culture, it also discusses in detail the types of uniforms, long and short pants and clothes used, even in it also about uniforms typical of Muslim women.
"So even though the SKB has been signed, Permendikbud still exists. Now this Permendikbud is the technical reference for schools in determining the use of uniforms, because it speaks technically, "he explained.
Satriwan advised Kemendikbud to strengthen school committees, because school committees can evaluate and provide policy input to educational units in making rules.
"The Ministry of Home Affairs should have also detailed and mentioned which regions have made discriminatory regulations in the context of school uniforms, either prohibiting or requiring the headscarf. From P2G monitoring there are a number of areas such as Maumere, Manokwari, Banyuwangi, Bali, even Padang, "explained Satriwan.
