Until 2015, many schools in Indonesia still had teachers without a bachelor's degree (S1). 18.7 percent of teachers still held less than an S1 degree. Generally, those without an S1 degree were teachers at the Kindergarten (TK) and Elementary School (SD) levels, including Special Needs Schools (SLB). In 2015, the total number of teachers in Indonesia reached 3.4 million.
The requirement for teachers to hold a bachelor's degree or a Diploma IV is mandated by Law Number 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers. This law obligates the government to improve the qualifications of teachers without a bachelor's degree within ten years. Therefore, by 2015, all teachers should have met this qualification.
