Education Observer The Value Of Teacher Certification Causes Injustice

JAKARTA - Education observer Doni Koesoema said that if an educator certificate was used as one of the criteria for hiring government employees with a work agreement (PPPK) it could harm private schools. selection. The government also provides opportunities for all teachers in the name of a non-discriminatory policy, all teachers have the right to take part in this P3K selection process," Doni said in a broadcast of the Private School Ballad: Bedol Desa Private Teacher which was followed online in Jakarta, Monday, February 7. Doni said The teacher certificate added as one of the criteria in the selection for honorary teachers can lead to inequality in the long-standing learning system in a private school and injustice to teachers. Inequality in learning can occur because the party who has an educator certificate is the teacher. permanent teachers in private school foundations, who already have a certificate (SK) as a teacher and prefer to take part in the first aid selection. On the other hand, private school managers feel they are being treated unfairly,” he said.

With changes in the criteria that allow permanent teachers in private schools who have educator certificates to take P3K, the government will narrow the space and opportunities for honorary teachers in public schools to compete with teachers from private schools. the selection must also carry out the task of teaching elsewhere. “For private schools, of course, this is an injustice because with the removal or withdrawal of their teachers, they will then have difficulty continuing to carry out the learning process. So this will disrupt school performance and operations," he stressed. In fact, the addition of educator certificates in the P3K selection criteria was previously intended to improve the selection process for honorary teachers due to the discovery of many teachers who did not meet the graduation threshold. Therefore, he asked the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) to be fair in protecting all teachers and supporting all parties, both private and public schools. “Kemendikbudristek needs to be more wise and fair. The Minister of Education is the Minister of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, which means that he must oversee private teachers, public teachers and must also encourage and support private and public school managers," said Doni.
