Head of the Education, Youth and Sports Office (Disdikpora) of Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Rozali hopes that the local government will increase the salaries of non-permanent teachers (GTT) and non-permanent employees (PTT). "I hope that the GTT and PTT salary increases are at least the same as the salaries of honorary workers in the local government of Rp2,150,000. per month," he said in Sungailiat, Antara, Friday, May 5. Currently, he said, teachers do not still get a salary of Rp. 1.5 million per month while employees do not still only get a salary of Rp. 1.3 million per month. He admitted that the amount of GTT and PTT salaries received that amount had increased twice by IDR 200 thousand per month from 2018 to 2023. With the increase in salaries of GTT and PTT, he said, at least the same as honorary staff in local governments can be a big motivation for them in carrying out quite heavy service tasks. The welfare of teachers and administrative staff in schools that are proposed to continue to be considered, the improvement of infrastructure services in schools is also improved. "A magnitude of more than IDR 5 billion in 2022, local governments have disbursed funds for the physical improvement of schools and other equipment," he said.

"The funds of this size are recognized as only able to cover several schools that have been repaired because schools from kindergarten to secondary level are quite widely spread across eight sub-districts and 62 villages," said Rozali.
