JAKARTA - Each candidate for president-vice president will start to spread charm with promises to the public. Previously, Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin, who was partnered with President Anies Baswedan, wanted to increase village funds of up to IDR 5 billion. This time, the Presidential Decree Ganjar Pranowo, which is promoted by PDIP, is proposing to increase the teacher's salary to reach Rp. 30 million per month. The goal is that teachers can live properly. "This idea (a teacher salary of Rp. 30 million) is a breakthrough to give appropriate appreciation to the teaching profession," said PDIP politician Andreas Hugo Pareira in his statement in Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, September 12. For Andreas, the role of teachers for the development of human resources is very important. Unfortunately, the teaching profession, which is the most important element in the education process, has not received proper attention. Ganjar understands the importance of human resource development, one of which is increasing in the aspect of education. Talking about the aspect of education, teacher salaries are important components that are appropriate and appropriate to pay attention to. "Mas Ganjar sees the importance of development. When it comes to HR development, of course, talking about education, and talking about education, of course salaries and teacher allowances are core educational subjects," he said. Andreas also commented on the challenges from the public policy observer from Trisaksi University Trubus Rahardiansyah for Ganjar to explain in more detail the idea. According to him, the challenge is good to spur all parties to think and make policies that are pro-education. "Because if the order of the Constitution, 20 percent of the state budget is allocated for education, this shouldn't be impossible," said Andreas. Previously, the prospective Vice Presidential Candidate from PKB Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin gave a political promise regarding village funds which would later increase to IDR 5 billion per village. "We have calculated village funds for 2023, IDR 2 billion per village is enough. It can increase drastically by IDR 5 billion per village. This is a target that wants to be fought for in the new government," he said while in Jombang, East Java, Sunday, September 10. To note, the registration of presidential and vice presidential candidates is scheduled for October 19, 2023 to November 25, 2023. Based on Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections (UU Pemilu), pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates are proposed by political parties or coalitions of political parties participating in the election who meet the requirements for obtaining seats of at least 20 percent of the total seats in the DPR or obtaining 25 percent of the nationally valid votes in the previous election for members of the DPR.

Currently, there are 575 seats in parliament so that the pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election must have at least 115 seats in the DPR RI. It could also be that the candidate pairs are promoted by political parties or a combination of political parties participating in the 2019 Election with a total valid vote acquisition of at least 34,992,703 votes.
