Navigating the Teacher Crisis This source discusses the House of Representatives Commission X's call for the government to give special priority to honorary teachers in the selection of Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK). Legislators emphasized the importance of affirmative action policies as a form of appreciation for the dedication of educators who have served for years in public schools. This is considered urgent to address the teacher shortage crisis while also providing legal certainty for non-civil servants amidst the transition of bureaucratic regulations. Furthermore, there are proposals for the implementation of a Part-Time PPPK scheme and a central budget guarantee to support teacher welfare in the regions. Overall, the text calls for the priority of humanity and justice over rigid administrative procedures. Based on the sources you provided, the proposed affirmative action policy for honorary teachers in the PPPK selection process was proposed by Habib Syarief Muhammad, a member of Commission X of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), with the following key points: *Recognition of Service Length:* The government is requested to provide **special recognition for teachers who have served for at least five to ten years**. The goal is to ensure they are not treated the same as fresh graduates in the selection process. *Part-Time PPPK Scheme:* Encourage the implementation of this scheme as a *transitional platform* so that honorary teachers have legal certainty and are not considered illegal after the deadline for structuring non-ASN personnel expires. *Salary Budget Guarantee:* The central government is requested to guarantee definite budget support to local governments for **PPPK teacher salary payments**. *Administrative Sanction Moratorium:* Proposes postponing sanctions for educational institutions that continue to employ non-ASN teachers until the national teacher needs are fully met by the state. *Background to the Proposal:* This policy was proposed due to concerns about the overly rigid bureaucratic structure under the Civil Servant Law. Habib Syarief emphasized that humanitarian aspects and the sustainability of education must be prioritized, considering that Indonesia is currently facing a shortage of more than 480,000 teachers, while 237,000 non-civil servant teachers currently serve as the backbone of education in public schools. He emphasized that ignoring the existence of honorary teachers for the sake of regulatory compliance is considered a "failure of legal reasoning," as the law should function as an instrument of social protection and welfare. #teachercrisis #fyp
