Law Number 14 of 2005, Article 9, mandates that every teacher must possess a minimum academic qualification of a Bachelor's degree (S1) or a Diploma IV (D4). However, some teachers still have academic qualifications below this minimum education standard.
The Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemdikbud) notes that the highest percentage of teachers with unqualified academic qualifications is in elementary schools (SD), reaching 21%. The next highest percentage is in special education (PLB) at 18%. Senior High Schools (SMA) and Vocational High Schools (SMK) are nearing full compliance, with 95% and 91% respectively meeting the requirement.
In addition to academic qualifications, the law mandates that teachers must possess competence, a teaching certificate, be physically and mentally healthy, and have the ability to achieve national education goals.
