Ensuring Legal Certainty, Mendikdasmen: Non-ASN Teachers Can Become ASN
Kupang, NTT (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) states that it is striving to provide welfare and legal certainty for teachers holding non-ASN status, thereby giving them the opportunity to participate in the selection process to become ASN in accordance with applicable regulations.
Minister of Basic and Secondary Education (Mendikdasmen) Abdul Mu’ti stated that his ministry is continuously working to meet teacher needs in 2026 and subsequent years by prioritising the reorganisation of non-ASN teachers and educational personnel.
“In this way, non-ASN teachers will have the opportunity to follow the selection process in accordance with applicable regulations. For those who pass the selection, their status will transform into Civil Servants (ASN), thereby providing a clearer and more sustainable career path,” said Mendikdasmen Mu’ti in the city of Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara Province, on Tuesday.
He emphasised that the presence of non-ASN teachers in educational units managed by local governments is an important part of maintaining the continuity of educational services in Indonesia.
Therefore, his ministry ensures that the reorganisation of teachers and educational personnel is a priority agenda in the transformation of educational bureaucracy.
This policy, he said, aims to ensure that the learning process continues optimally, while also providing certainty for the teachers until 31 December 2026.
After that date, he stated that his ministry, together with the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPANRB) and other related ministries, has formulated strategic steps in the form of opening and determining teacher needs formations gradually.
“Through more planned governance improvements, future teacher needs can be met in the right quantity and on target. This is an important step to create a stable educational ecosystem to improve the quality of national education in the future,” said Mu’ti.
