BOGOR - The Bogor City DPRD Special Committee (Pansus) Team for the Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) on Teacher Protection started the inaugural meeting last week.

The head of the special committee team, Juhana, said that this inaugural meeting was used as a member of the special committee to discuss internally the draft Raperda that had been prepared by experts.

"So we want this Raperda discussion to be carried out comprehensively and in depth so that the rules we make are in accordance with the needs of the teachers," said Juhana.

Furthermore, Juhana also emphasized that the DPRD spirit proposed the discussion of the Raperda on Teacher Protection so that there would be no more teachers who would have the same fate as Oemar Bakri as in the song Iwan Fals. Having a buildup task and a big responsibility, but not protected by his rights.

So Juhana assessed that teachers are national heroes who need to be given a service certificate. One of them is by providing protection for the rights of income, health, profession and others.

Juhana also emphasized that the presence of the Raperda on Teacher Protection was in accordance with the Bogor City Regional Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPD) which carries the vision of the City of Creative, Advanced and Sustainable Science.

"So we hope that there will not be Oemar Bakri in Bogor City. Teachers are heroes who must be given a service sign," he concluded.
