JAKARTA - Member of Commission X DPR RI Sabam Sinaga proposed that every school employ teachers from minority religions to improve service equality for students.
"Schools everywhere throughout Indonesia refer to Article 28 of religious freedom. Therefore, there should also be teachers who are minority who are placed," said Sabam in a statement received in Jakarta, Saturday.
According to him, the presence of teachers from minority religious circles in each school can provide many benefits.
First, he said, schools can provide understanding to students about the importance of respecting religious differences.
Thus, teachers in every school can avoid disputes between students due to religious differences.
The presence of teachers from minority religious circles, continued Sabam, can also lure schools to act fairly against students from minority religious circles.

Thus, every student from the minority religious circle will experience the same service so that they do not feel different from other friends.
Sabam gave an example in Papua or Manado, the majority of non-Muslims. However, the state must provide Islamic education teachers if there are Muslim students there.
"So far they have been out of class or just following classes," he explained.
In order to ensure that all students from religious circles get the same service, Sabam also asked the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) to monitor and socialize at schools.
The socialization in each school, according to him, is necessary so that students and schools understand the importance of protecting and respecting each other between religious communities.
With these various efforts, Sabam believes that all students can carry out learning activities comfortably and safely at school.
