        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has\nalready had a significant impact on all sectors and industries, from\nhealthcare to education. In fact, some professions are feared to become\nextinct, replaced by AI.<\/p>\n<p>However, Arif Jamali, Director of Secondary Education and Special\nEducation at the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education\n(Kemendikdasmen), believes that the role of teachers cannot be replaced\nby advanced technology like AI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI cannot replace teachers and cannot substitute the interaction\nbetween teachers and students, no matter how sophisticated the\ntechnology is,\u201d said Arif at the CNBC Indonesia Tech &amp; Telco Forum\n2026 on Wednesday (6\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Arif emphasised the importance of teachers\u2019 ability to\nadapt in facing AI developments. He assessed that technology must become\npart of the teaching and learning experience, so that its benefits can\nbe realised in improving student quality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are quite a few learning platforms, but they do not\nautomatically make our education quality and high-standard. Technology\nwill enhance the quality of education with teachers who can design\nlearning and encourage students to understand, apply, and reflect on\nknowledge through AI technology,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Arif highlighted the importance of the teacher\u2019s role in\nmaintaining human values and ethics in AI usage. This is because AI can\nbring great benefits but also comes with risks that threaten\nsecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Arif said that the current task of teachers must be able to maintain\nand ensure that students have empathetic character and uphold positive\nvalues. Finally, according to him, teachers must also be able to build a\nnew learning culture.<\/p>\n<p>He also mentioned government efforts to encourage a more effective\nand efficient teaching and learning process with the help of technology.\nOne of them is the Prabowo Subianto administration providing digital\ninteractive boards in schools.<\/p>\n<p>Although the procurement has been provided, it is important for\nteachers to be able to maximise their use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom our mapping results, many of our schools and teachers are not\nyet capable in terms of facilities to access advanced technology.\nTeachers\u2019 abilities are also still below the capacity to adapt to this\ntechnology,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, the government is taking action by training nearly\n50,000 teachers to socialise the use of technology in the teaching and\nlearning process.<\/p>",
