YOGYAKARTA - The certification allowance or teacher professional allowance (TPG) is a form of appreciation and incentive for educators for their dedication and competence. The process of distributing certification allowances must be understood by educators.

The government disbursed the teaching profession allowance for the first quarter through the Ministry starting April 2024. The amount of this certification allowance is distributed every three months in one fiscal year. So the amount of this certification allowance can be 3 times the basic salary.

There are still some teachers who do not understand the stages of TPG disbursement, so they are quite confused in waiting for this allowance. Therefore, educators must understand the order of disbursement of teacher certification and the process.

There are several stages in the process of distributing teacher professional allowances. Teachers and related parties need to understand well the following order of disbursement of teacher certification:

The first process in distributing teacher certification allowances is to ensure that teachers have met the requirements stipulated in accordance with the provisions of regulations and legislation. The requirements in general include appropriate educational qualifications, having participated in the teacher certification program (PPG), and others.

The following are the detailed requirements contained in Permendikbudristek number 45 of 2023:

If it is confirmed that all requirements have been met, teachers or educators can apply for certification allowances. The submission is carried out with a mechanism that has been determined by the relevant agencies, such as the Education Office.

If a proposal has been made, the relevant agencies will verify the documents submitted by the teachers. This verification process aims to ensure that all required documents are complete and in accordance with applicable regulations.

This verification stage involves checking the education history, training certificates, and other relevant documents. The following is a document on the verification requirements for teacher professional allowance files, launching from the sippn.menpan.go.id page.

The files are bounded in one group according to education, kindergarten (down payment), elementary school (red), junior high school (blue), and supervisor (red).

Complete files were collected through the respective UPT offices and then the UPT Service submitted the files of the teachers receiving the allowances to the Education Office.

Before being able to obtain certification allowances, teachers must undergo competency tests determined by the government or related institutions. A general competency test that will be given in the form of teacher professional education (PPG) held pre-position or in office.

The purpose of this competency test is to assess the ability and quality of teachers in carrying out educational tasks according to the standards set. Teachers who successfully pass the competency test will get certification which is a requirement for receiving certification allowances.

The Ministry of Education and Culture has determined the number of teacher allowances as stated in Permendikbudristek number 45 of 2023. Allowances are given at 1 (one) times the basic salary every month.

Meanwhile, the distribution of allowances is given every three months in one fiscal year. The amount of certification allowances can vary depending on the level of educational qualifications, working period, and other relevant factors.

If the determination of the amount of allowances has been carried out, the last stage is the disbursement of allowances to teachers who meet the requirements. Allowances can be channeled regularly according to the schedule set by the relevant institutions. Acceptance of certification allowances will receive allowances through the payment mechanism that has been set, such as bank transfers.

That is the explanation of the order of disbursement of teacher certification allowances that are important to understand. Educators need to ensure that the distribution of allowances runs smoothly. Also read also the Ministry of Education and Culture asking the local government to accelerate the disbursement of teacher professional allowances.
