Education officials to lose posts

JAKARTA: In a bid to improve efficiency, Minister of National
Education Abdul Malik Fadjar is restructuring the ministry,
causing 241 officials to lose positions.

Ministry personnel bureau head Muji Yusuf said it was
introducing the new structure before its expected implementation
next month.

In the new structure, there will be seven first echelon staff,
47 second echelon staff, 174 third echelon staff and 410 fourth
echelon officials, plus five staff experts of the minister.

Ministry secretary general Mahmuri Muklas said those who would
be excluded from the structure might take up other functional
jobs as librarians, human resources analysts, auditors or project
administrators.

He said the ministry was looking at the possibility of
maintaining structural allowances for the outgoing officials
until December. -- Antara
