Presidential candidate number 2, Prabowo Subianto, stated his intention to improve teachers' salaries in Indonesia.

He made this statement during the fifth Presidential Debate of 2024, themed on social welfare, culture, education, information technology, health, employment, human resources, and inclusion, held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on Sunday, February 4, 2024.

Prabowo's statement regarding salary increases is in the context of improving the quality of life for teachers. This includes not only decent salaries but also the provision of training and development programs.

"We must improve teachers' salaries, including those of honorary teachers, and enhance teachers' competencies. We must provide training and development programs, and also improve the salaries of state civil servants, TNI (Indonesian National Armed Forces), Polri (Indonesian National Police), and agricultural extension workers, so that their quality of life improves and they can provide the best possible service to the people," said Prabowo during the vision-mission session.

So, what is the data on teachers' salaries in Indonesia?

According to Government Regulation (PP) Number 15 of 2019, teachers' salaries in Indonesia are still quite low. This regulation applies equally to all government institutions at both central and regional levels, but differs based on rank and length of service.

For those applying to be teachers in major cities like Jakarta, the minimum requirement is a bachelor's degree (S1). Successful applicants will receive civil servant (PNS) status and be placed in rank IIIa. Meanwhile, teachers with a Diploma 3 (D3) degree will be placed in rank IIa.
