FSGI Asks Regional Governments to Ensure Data of Contract Teachers for PPPK

The Federation of Indonesian Teachers' Unions (FSGI) is taking a proactive stance, urging regional governments to meticulously ensure the accuracy of data for contract teachers eligible for permanent positions. As reported by Tempo, this initiative is critical for the successful implementation of the government's plan to transition non-civil servant teachers into part-time civil servant roles (PPPK). FSGI emphasizes that regional data must align with national databases and account for teachers nearing retirement to anticipate future needs per subject. The union's call for regional governments to confirm budget allocations for these teachers, potentially supplemented by other funding sources, is a vital step towards ensuring their welfare and job security. Furthermore, FSGI raises important questions about the fate of contract teachers not yet included in the national Dapodik system by the end of 2024, and warns of a potential teacher crisis in mid-2026 as many educators retire, particularly as the academic year transitions. This proactive engagement by FSGI underscores the complexities of teacher management in Indonesia and the crucial role of accurate data and planning in maintaining educational quality.

At least until 2030, the availability of teachers per subject can be anticipated with the number of teachers entering retirement.
