JAKARTA, KOMPAS— A legal umbrella is required in debureaucratizing education administration as it cannot be simply delegated to teachers. There needs to be clarity on aspects of administration that teachers, principals and education supervisors can cut down or disregard to boost their performance.
“Administrative problems occur due to regulations by the central government, namely the Education and Culture Ministry, which are then passed down to provincial, regency and city administrations. Many [of these regulations] restrict teachers,” Indonesian Teachers Unions Federation (FSGI) deputy secretary general Satriwan Salim said in Jakarta on Sunday (24/11/2019).
