Indonesia to Disburse Teacher Incentives End of June 2026

The Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs, through its Directorate of Madrasah Teachers and Education Staff (GTK), has announced that incentives for non-civil servant madrasah teachers will start being disbursed at the end of June 2026. This announcement brings good news for educators who have been awaiting this financial support.

Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar expressed his gratitude to the Directorate GTK Madrasah team for their diligent work in preparing the necessary administrative requirements for the disbursement. He highlighted the dedication of madrasah teachers in their mission to educate the nation's children. Each eligible teacher will receive an incentive of 1.5 million Indonesian rupiah, which will be directly credited to their personal bank accounts.

Director General of Islamic Education Amin Suyitno added that the ministry is currently finalizing the collective bank account books for the non-ASN madrasah teachers who are recipients of the incentives. This process requires time and effort from the GTK Madrasah team.

Previously, the Ministry of Religious Affairs proposed an allocation of Rp9.6 trillion from the Indicative Budget Ceiling for Fiscal Year 2027. This budget is earmarked for enhancing the welfare of religious education teachers and personnel. A substantial portion of this national priority budget, Rp9.6 trillion, is directed towards programs aimed at improving teacher welfare, including incentives and professional allowances for non-civil servant teachers and lecturers, as well as special allowances for teachers in underdeveloped regions.
