Deputy Chair of DPR Commission X Proposes Abolishing PPPK, Wants All Teachers to Become PNS

It is time for the government to carry out a comprehensive reform of teacher governance in Indonesia. The current teacher cluster system, including PPPK and part-time PPPK, must be abolished and merged into a single national civil service system through the CPNS pathway,” said Lalu to reporters on Monday (4/5/2026). He assessed that the teacher appointment policy to date has caused problems in the field. He highlighted issues of overlapping regulations, uncertain status, and treatment deemed discriminatory towards educators. “Many teachers have become victims of an unsynchronised system. Some are late in receiving salaries, there is unclear career development, and even welfare disparities across regions,” he stated. This PKB legislator highlighted that there are still many PPPK teachers in various regions experiencing delays in salary payments. He assessed that one of the factors is the weak coordination of governance between the central government and local governments. Lalu Hadrian stated that if governance is under the central government, teachers’ welfare will be equitable. He proposed that all teachers could become PNS. “If teacher recruitment is carried out through a single CPNS pathway and management is centralised, the state can ensure quality, equity, and guaranteed teacher welfare. Teachers are the foundation of the nation’s future, so the state must be present with a fair and certain system,” he explained.
