        "summary": "On National Education Day, the Indonesian government has introduced two key regulations in early 2026 to safeguard educators and foster safe learning environments. Permendikdasmen No. 4\/2026 provides legal, professional, and occupational health protections for teachers against violence, intimidation, and unfair treatment, including legal aid from investigation to trial while upholding the presumption of innocence. Meanwhile, Permendikdasmen No. 6\/2026 establishes guidelines for creating violence-free, child-friendly school cultures that address physical, sociocultural, cyber threats, and ensure holistic protections across school, extracurricular, and digital spaces. These policies aim to balance educational ideals with contemporary social challenges, revoking outdated regulations to better support educators and students.",

We are aware\nthat so many cases of violence affect educators, even though teachers\nare essentially guardians of values, not mere transmitters. Surabaya\n(ANTARA) - Coinciding with 2 May, commemorated as National Education\nDay, we are once again invited to reflect on the still concerning state\nof the education world. In such conditions, the role of educators\u2014both\nlecturers and teachers\u2014is now at a crossroads. On one side, there are\nstill educators who firmly hold to idealism as moral guides. However, on\nthe other side, they must face increasingly complex issues: risks of\ncriminal offences up to threats disrupting the comfort of the learning\nprocess. Not infrequently, parents report educators on suspicion of\nviolence. In practice, however, the actions in question are often\nintended as part of the educational process, even though they are in a\nsensitive area that is difficult to separate from the boundaries of\nviolence itself. At the beginning of 2026, educators can breathe a\nlittle easier. Two government policies have been born through the\nMinister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology to encourage\nthe creation of a safe and comfortable school climate on one side, and\non the other, how to protect educators from the scorching heat and\nembers of the law. Permendikdasmen No.\u00a04 of 2026 (established January\n2026) aims to provide stronger legal, professional, and occupational\nsafety and health (K3) protection for teachers and educational\npersonnel. The regulation covers legal assistance for violence,\nintimidation, or unfair treatment while on duty, in addition to\nguaranteeing protection from the investigation stage. The key points of\nthis regulation include several main aspects. First, legal protection\naimed at protecting teachers from acts of violence, threats,\ndiscrimination, and intimidation from students, parents, or external\nparties. Second, in the legal accompaniment process, educators and\neducational personnel are entitled to legal accompaniment from the\ninvestigation\/inquiry stage to the court. Third, the importance of\nprioritising the presumption of innocence principle. Educators and\neducational personnel cannot be declared guilty before there is a final\ncourt decision. Regions and professional organisations are required to\nform task forces for the protection of educators and educational\npersonnel (PTK) in implementing legal execution and advocacy. The\npresence of this regulation also revokes Permendikbud No.\u00a010 of 2017,\nadjusted to the needs of current social dynamics. Then, Permendikdasmen\nNumber 6 of 2026 on Safe and Comfortable School Culture, officialised in\nJanuary 2026, serves as the main legal foundation in creating a\nviolence-free and child-friendly educational environment. This is a\nregulation that emphasises comprehensive protection for students,\nteachers, and educational personnel from physical violence,\nsociocultural issues, to cyber crimes. This regulation covers\nregulations for creating school environments, extracurricular\nactivities, and digital\/online media spaces. This is to ensure that\nschool community members receive physical protection, psychological\nhealth, digital civility, and fulfilment of the spiritual rights of the\nschool community. The principles that can be applied include:\nhumanistic, participatory, inclusive, non-discriminatory, and upholding\nthe best interests of the child.<\/p>",
