JAKARTA - The National Team (Timnas) for the Victory of Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) will abolish the status of honorary teachers, if elected to win the 2024 presidential election, to realize the quality of education in Indonesia for the better.

"We have been wrong in placing teachers as honorary staff, in total, and this is what we have to fix," said AMIN National Team Spokesperson, Indra Charismiadji, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, December 7.

Indra said that currently Indonesia is the only country that implements an honorary system for the profession of educators, so there needs to be improvements to the education system in the country.

According to Indra, if the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number 1 is given the opportunity to lead Indonesia for the next five years, then AMIN will fix the system.

AMIN wants to make education in Indonesia more advanced and not left behind from other countries.

"Hopefully we can fix it in five years. If we get the mandate to lead Indonesia, then there will be no more honorary teachers," he said.

In addition, continued Indra, the education system will also be improved because education is not only in schools, but also in various places, especially in family circles, communities, and universities.

"Education is not only in schools, but also in the role of parents, communities, and universities. That must be improved," said Indra.
