Serang Mayor Budi Rustandi will summon part-time contracted\ngovernment teacher (P3K) employees to discuss salary issues. Budi seeks\nto clarify the matter of inadequate salaries for part-time P3K teachers,\nwith some reportedly unpaid.<\/p>\n
Budi Rustandi stated that the Serang City Government (Pemkot) has\nprovided salary subsidies for part-time P3K teachers through School\nOperational Assistance (BOS) funding. The city government, he said, has\nassisted with payment to 330 teachers to supplement shortfalls from BOS\nallocations.<\/p>\n
Regarding data from the Education and Teachers Union (P2G) indicating\n954 part-time P3K employees, Budi said he would verify this. However, he\nstated that city government data shows 330 teachers have received\npayments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will use our data. On Monday (2 March) I will meet with the\nteachers. These 330\u2014are they covered because BOS doesn\u2019t cover them, or\nare they purely 330?\u201d Budi said on Friday (27 February 2026).<\/p>\n
Budi explained that schools are only permitted to use a maximum of 20\npercent of BOS funds to pay teacher salaries. Therefore, the city\ngovernment will increase budget allocations to improve the salary\nadequacy of part-time P3K teachers.<\/p>\n
According to Budi, part-time P3K teachers receive Rp 900,000 to Rp 1\nmillion monthly under current regulations. However, he is being pressed\nto increase these amounts whilst facing budget constraints.<\/p>\n
\u201cRp 900,000 to Rp 1 million if I\u2019m not mistaken according to\nregulations. But we are also instructed to hire P3K teachers, whilst on\nthe other hand we must reduce personnel spending in the municipal\nbudget. This is a dilemma. On one side we must reduce, on the other\nwe\u2019re asked to increase,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Budi stated that his office is committed to resolving part-time P3K\nteacher salary issues. Nevertheless, he noted that the appointment of\npart-time P3K teachers in October was intended to secure employee\nstatus.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we\u2019re proceeding as things are for now. Later we will gather\neveryone and improve matters. The important thing is that no one goes\ncompletely unpaid; that\u2019s false news,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Previously, P2G received reports from part-time P3K teachers in\nSerang regarding salary problems. P2G stated that some teachers received\nonly approximately Rp 130,000 monthly from BOS funding.<\/p>\n
Iman Zanatul Haeri, Head of Teacher Advocacy at P2G, stated that\nthere are 954 teachers and education personnel (tendik) employed as\npart-time P3K in Serang City. They were inaugurated by Serang City\nGovernment on 23 October 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201c954 teachers and education personnel in Serang City were\nsymbolically inaugurated as part-time P3K on 23 October 2025, but to\ndate have not received official appointment letters,\u201d said Iman on\nThursday (26 February).<\/p>\n
According to him, since January 2026 the teachers have received\nminimal salaries with varying amounts ranging from Rp 130,000 to Rp\n960,000 monthly.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause appointment letters have not been issued, they are paid\nusing BOS funding with very low and fluctuating amounts, ranging between\nRp 130,000 and Rp 960,000 monthly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome remain unpaid, and some claim they have yet to receive\npayment,\u201d he added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/serang-mayor-to-summon-part-time-contract-teachers-to-address-salary-issues-1772182841", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
