The Ministry of
Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) issued Permendikbud Number 19 of 2020
concerning Amendment to Permendikbud Number 8 of 2020 concerning Regular BOS
Technical Guidelines. In the Permendikbud, Kemendikbud abolished the provisions
on the Unique Number of Educators and Education Personnel (NUPTK) as one of the
conditions for honorary teachers to be able to receive salaries from the use of
School Operational Assistance (BOS) funds. However, this policy is temporary
and only applies during the Covid-19 emergency. The provision for the use of
the Regular BOS funds is valid from April 2020 until the revocation of Covid-19
public health emergency status is determined by the central government.
Minister of Education
and Culture (Mendikbud) Nadiem Makarim said, in the previous Permendikbud,
namely Permendikbud No. 8 of 2020 regarding Regular BOS Technical Guidelines,
payment of honorary teacher salaries from BOS funds must meet the requirements
to have NUPTK. "Now we change it during the Covid-19 emergency period,
released provisions must have NUPTK. But honorary teachers who can receive
salaries from BOS funds must still be recorded in dapodik as of December 2019.
Although the NUPTK conditions have been released temporarily, other conditions
still apply, namely for honorary teachers who have not yet received
professional allowance and have fulfilled the teaching load, "the Minister
of Education and Culture said in a teleconference on Wednesday (15
In Article 9A
paragraph 3 of Permendikbud No. 19 of 2020, it is stated that the payment of
honorarium payments is given to teachers who are not of the state civil
apparatus and must meet the following requirements: a. registered with Dapodik
as at 31 December 2019, b. have not received a professional allowance, and c.
fulfill the teaching burden, including teaching from home during the
determination of Covid-19 Public Health Emergency status established by the
Central Government.
Minister of Education
and Culture said, this policy was issued to facilitate honorary teachers who
have inadequate economic conditions due to the impact of Covid-19. "So we
have temporarily released the NUPTK requirements because of the economic and
health crisis, but they still have to be recorded in the Dapodik," he
said.
In addition to
removing the NUPTK requirements, the Ministry of Education and Culture also
changed the provisions on the percentage of the use of BOS funds for payment of
honoraria. Previously, there was a regulation that BOS funds that could be used
to pay honorariums were set at a maximum of 50 percent. At present, the
stipulation for the payment of a maximum of 50 percent honorarium does not
apply during the determination period of the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency
status by the Central Government.
"Because the
economy is being impacted, we are releasing these provisions and giving freedom
to principals to provide salaries to honorary teachers. We provide flexibility
for principals who feel the need to help the economic conditions of honorary
teachers, especially in the regions, especially in many affected areas. We want
shows that there is a way to ensure the welfare of honorary teachers in this
time of crisis, "said the Minister of Education and Culture.
He also reiterated
that the principal has a discretion in the use of BOS funds because the
principal is the party who knows best about the operational needs of the school
and the needs of teachers. The school principal can also continue to provide
honoraria to education personnel if funds are still available after being used
to finance education provision in the Covid-19 emergency period.
"The point is
that during this crisis we want to provide comfort for school principals and
for those in need, that they can use BOS funds as flexibly as possible to
ensure the welfare and comfort of online learning and the convenience of
principals to gain flexibility in using BOS funds," said the Minister of
Education and Culture.
