Problematic Vehicles Should Not Be Gifts for Teachers, Says Monitoring Group

The Indonesian Education Monitoring Network (JPPI) has voiced strong opposition to proposals suggesting the donation of vehicles from the Motor Program to teachers. JPPI argues that teachers' welfare and transportation needs should be met through state support and proper procurement, not by distributing "problematic" or "faulty" vehicles.

Teachers should receive state support regarding transportation and their welfare.

The organization believes that such items, if they are indeed problematic, should not be presented as gifts to educators. Instead, JPPI insists that the fulfillment of teachers' rights must stem from a transparent and accountable state procurement system. This stance highlights a concern that distributing substandard or problematic assets could undermine the dignity and professional standing of teachers.

Problematic items should not be given as gifts.

JPPI's position underscores a call for better governance in educational support systems. The group advocates for genuine support that enhances teachers' lives and professional capabilities, rather than offering solutions that could create further issues. The focus remains on ensuring that any provisions for teachers are of good quality and directly contribute to their well-being and effectiveness.

The fulfillment of these rights should come from procurement.
