Deputy Chair of Commission VIII of the House of Representatives,\nAbidin Fikri, has called on the government to disburse professional\nallowances (TPG) to madrasah teachers before Eid al-Fitr 2026. He stated\nthat the welfare of madrasah teachers is the responsibility of the\ncentral government through the state budget.<\/p>\n
\u201cDelays in paying TPG to madrasah teachers risk triggering social\nunrest if teachers\u2019 rights are not prioritised on time before Eid,\u201d said\nAbidin Fikri to journalists on Monday (9 March 2026).<\/p>\n
Abidin, a legislator from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle\n(PDIP), noted that during constituency visits, madrasah teachers\ncomplained about delayed and untimely TPG payments. He has urged the\nMinistry of Religious Affairs to accelerate verification of Simpatika\nsystem data so that 405,438 madrasah teachers can receive their monthly\nallowances without waiting for Eid to arrive.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommission VIII will not remain silent; we will oversee ensuring\nmadrasah teachers\u2019 rights are fulfilled on time before Eid, preventing\ndemonstrations everywhere due to this injustice,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) provided\nassurance regarding the disbursement of professional allowances (TPG) to\nmadrasah teachers. The disbursement will be carried out in stages\nbeginning the first week of March 2026.<\/p>\n
The Director General of Islamic Education (Dirjen Pendis) Amien\nSuyitno stated that his office had received instructions from Religious\nAffairs Minister Nasaruddin Umar. The minister has ordered acceleration\nof the process for issuing Eligibility Analysis Decision Letters for\nAllowance Recipients (SKAKPT).<\/p>\n
\u201cIn accordance with the Religious Affairs Minister Nasaruddin Umar\u2019s\ndirective, we continue to accelerate the process of issuing SKAKPT so\nthat madrasah teachers\u2019 rights can be received immediately,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n
The SKAKPT is a document confirming that a madrasah teacher\u2019s TPG is\neligible for disbursement because administrative requirements have been\nmet. This document serves as evidence of data validation issued through\nthe Ministry of Religious Affairs\u2019 Simpatika system.<\/p>\n
With accelerated issuance of SKAKPT, TPG can be promptly transferred\nto the individual bank accounts of each madrasah teacher. Amien Suyitno\nconfirmed that the allowance disbursement process has already commenced\nin the first week of March 2026.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/deputy-chair-of-dpr-commission-viii-urges-madrasah-teacher-allowances-to-be-paid-before-eid-al-fitr-1773068472", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
