Deductions from teachers' salaries

Deductions from teachers' salaries

From Kompas

In Magelang regency, Central Java, amounts are deducted from
the salaries of teachers without the approval of the teachers
concerned. The deductions are Rp 5000 per month from kindergarten
teachers' wages and Rp 7000 from junior and senior high school
teachers.

The deductions were for five consecutive months beginning in
October 1994. Beside this scheme the teachers also had to pay Rp
1000 for calendars that were provided by the provincial office of
the Department of Education and Culture.

The teachers don't have the courage to question the deduction
policy, but wonder what happens to the money taken from their
salaries.
