  • The Indramayu regional government welcomes the central government's decision to transfer PPPK teachers to national civil servant status.
  • This move is expected to significantly ease the regional budget's financial burden.
  • The transfer is seen as a positive step for Indramayu's fiscal stability, especially after a Rp 340 billion cut in central government transfers.

The regional government of Indramayu has expressed strong support for the central government's plan to reclassify teachers hired under the Government Employee Work Agreement (PPPK) status to national civil servant status. Officials believe this decision will provide substantial relief to the local budget.

Of course, we welcome it. With the transfer of PPPK teacher employment status to the Central Government, the region is greatly helped.

Aan Hendrajana Muljadi, the Acting Regional Secretary of Indramayu Regency, stated that the transfer will greatly assist the region. "Of course, we welcome it. With the transfer of PPPK teacher employment status to the Central Government, the region is greatly helped," Aan told Republika on Thursday (August 20, 2026).

This development is particularly significant for Indramayu, which has faced fiscal challenges due to a Rp 340 billion cut in regional transfers (TKD) from the central government. "Whatever the amount of budget transferred to the center, we are very happy, very helped. Hopefully, our finances will stabilize faster. Now it's very unstable because of the TKD cut reaching Rp 340 billion," Aan added.

Ruswa, a member of the Indramayu Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), echoed this sentiment, calling the transfer a "breath of fresh air" for the region's finances. He emphasized that the Rp 340 billion TKD cut was a substantial amount, making the shift of PPPK teachers to central government responsibility a very positive move. This will allow local development and public services to continue despite budget constraints.

TKD that was cut by Rp 340 billion is a very large amount for Indramayu. So if PPPK teachers are transferred to the Central Government, of course that is very good.
