Law on teachers needed: Amien

SEMARANG, Central Java: Presidential hopeful Amien Rais said
on Wednesday that Indonesia should have a teacher's law to help
boost their performance.

"One of the factors affecting teachers' professionalism is
their welfare, which can be in the form of remuneration,
security, work environment, personal relationships and their
careers," Amien, who is also chairman of the People's
Consultative Assembly (MPR), said during a seminar on education
in Semarang, Central Java on Wednesday.

Amien also handed over four checks worth Rp 100 million
(US$11,764) to the rector of IKIP Semarang to help with
renovations on the campus. --Antara
