BANYUWANGI – Banyuwangi Regency Government's efforts to meet the shortage in the number of teachers are continuing. In addition to continuing to utilize non-permanent teachers (GTT) and proposing the formation of a large number of teachers as candidates for civil servants (civil servant) next year, The Department of Education together with USAID drafted the district head's regulation (regional government regulation) about setup, transfer, and equity, teacher in Banyuwangi.
In the draft regulation, The Education Office seeks to streamline the current teacher resources. The revised draft in the presence of stakeholders in the world of education will optimize PNS and K2 teacher staff by rotating them.
The rotation is adjusted to the needs and based on the awareness of each teacher in meeting the shortage of existing professional educators. Head of Banyuwangi Education Office, Sulihtiyono, through the Secretary of the Education Office, Dwiyanto, explained that the important point contained in the regional head regulation was the rotation of teachers who served for five years or more in one school.
According to him, this is an innovation in the world of education to fill deficiencies. However, he insisted, the mutation is not a sanction for the teacher. This is an effort so that teachers continue to have quality and the quality of schools where they teach.
According to Dwi, Banyuwangi still lacks teachers, especially class teachers for elementary schools, Indonesian subject teacher, religious teacher, and sports teacher. With such a mutation, he said, schools can fill the shortage of teachers in their places.
Besides that, Dwi believes that the quality of schools can be evenly distributed with the implementation of these mutations. Because, so far favorite schools are filled with teachers who have good quality. With this mutation, all schools have the opportunity to be developed by teachers who have the same quality as the favorite school.
“We hope this mutation can be self-service, so for teachers who already know if their working time in one school is five years, he can take turns with his friends from other schools to exchange,” explained Dwi.
Regarding the status of GTT in the transfer of teacher staff, Dwi said, Meanwhile, the focus is on civil servants, K2 CPNS, and K2. Because they are the ones who get incentives from the government. Seandcan for GTT, refers to the year PP48 2005, The Education Office cannot yet enforce the points in the draft if it is later ratified.
“The transfer policy will still be regulated by the government, but we manage the system, with a mutation distance corridor of not more than 15 kilometer. Between years 2008-2010 In the past, we also implemented mutations but with an auction system,” he said.
Meanwhile, Provincial Governance & USAID-Priority Specialist Manager, Adri Budi Sulistyo, added that the teacher transfer points if realized would be a policy breakthrough.
Therefore, According to him, the draft regional government regulation needs to be escorted. He saw if teacher exchanges between school agencies could be carried out, it can improve the quality of education.
So far, according to him, mutations are still within the district. With the transfer of school principals to outside the region and teachers between schools there will be a transmission of positive impacts.
Besides that, it can also reduce the impact of dominant teachers because they have lived in one school for decades. “We can use carom method, so teachers will continue to adapt and be able to pass on their experiences from previous places,” said Adri.
Besides that, the draft also discussed optimizing non-PNS K2 in order to obtain better incentives. They will also be required to improve their qualifications. (radar)
