Contract teachers remain the main solution in coping with the shortage of teachers in the country. They are required to educate professionally, but with minimal salaries. The pandemic has caused them to suffer even more.
JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The term contract teachers, locally known as “honorer”, is no longer relevant to the education system. Law No. 14/2005 concerning teachers and lecturers stipulates that teachers are professional educators. However, in practice, education still relies on contract teachers because there is a shortage of professional educators.
