The Deputy Chair of Commission VIII in the House of Representatives,\nAbidin Fikri, has urged the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) to\npromptly disburse Professional Teacher Allowances (TPG) for madrasah\nteachers before Eid 2026.<\/p>\n
According to Abidin, madrasah teacher allowances are a central\ngovernment obligation. He expressed concern that delays could\npotentially trigger social unrest among the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cDelays in madrasah teacher allowance payments could potentially\ntrigger social unrest if teacher rights are not prioritised on time\nbefore Eid,\u201d he said when contacted on Monday, 6 March.<\/p>\n
Based on findings during the parliamentary recess period, Abidin\nrevealed that he has received numerous complaints from madrasah teachers\nexpressing concern over delayed allowances.<\/p>\n
Abidin urged Kemenag to accelerate verification of Simpatika system\ndata to enable approximately 405,438 madrasah teachers to promptly\nreceive their monthly entitlements without waiting for Eid to\narrive.<\/p>\n
Although stage 3 and 4 disbursements of the Feasibility Analysis\nDecision Letters for Allowance Recipients (SKAKPT) are currently\nunderway as of today, this phased process must be expedited to avoid\ndisappointing thousands of religious educators whose salaries remain\nlow.<\/p>\n
The PDIP politician stressed that his faction would not remain\nsilent. Commission VIII of the House of Representatives, Abidin\ncontinued, would monitor the allowance disbursement process to ensure\ntimely distribution.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommission VIII will not stand idle; we will oversee the process to\nensure madrasah teacher rights are fulfilled on time before Eid,\npreventing widespread protests due to this injustice,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/parliament-demands-ministry-of-religious-affairs-release-teacher-allowances-before-eid-1773053569", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
