Wapres Dorong Pengangkatan Guru, Dongkrak Peningkatan Mutu Pendidikan Papua

JAYAPURA - Wakil Presiden Ma'ruf Amin mewacanakan mendorong pengangkatan guru di Papua, guna meningkatkan melakukan percepatan peningkatan mutu pendidikan di wilayah Bumi Cenderawasih. 

Hal demikian berkenaan dengan masih banyaknya guru di Papua yang belum diangkat sebagai pegawai negeri sipil (PNS), karena belum memenuhi persyaratan yang dibutuhkan. 

"Makanya nanti pemerintah (pusat) harus memberikan afirmasi dalam pengangkatan guru bagi mereka yang hanya tamatan Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA). Tapi sekali lagi pengangkatannya dengan syarat tertentu," tegas Wapres, Selasa (10/10/2023), dalam kunjungan kerjanya di Jayapura.

Diketahui, Wapres Amin di Jayapura memimpin langsung Rapat Koordinasi Badan Pengarah Percepatan Pembangunan Otonomi Khusus Papua yang diikuti Penjabat Gubernur di enam provinsi di tanah Papua.

Rapat tersebut juga turut membahas sejumlah isu penting terkait pembangunan di Papua, yang salah satunya menyangkut peningkatan kualitas pendidikan.

Selain isu pendidikan, kata Wapres, Rakor tersebut juga membahas pembangunan pemerintahan yang efektif, khususnya di empat DOB. Empat DOB itu yakni Papua Barat Daya, Papua Selatan, Papua Pegunungan dan Papua Tengah. 

"Rakor ini bertujuan mempercepat proses pembangunan sarana dan prasarana di 4 DOB di Papua. Termasuk hambatan-hambatan yang dihadapi pemerintah daerah setempat dalam melengkapi unsur kepegawaian," ujar Amin. 

Sebelum Rakor tersebut, Wapres juga menggelar pertemuan dengan pegiat kemanusiaan, HAM dan perdamaian serta pengusaha Papua. ***

JAYAPURA - Vice President Ma'ruf Amin planned to encourage the appointment of teachers in Papua, to increase the acceleration of improving the quality of education.

This is related to the fact that there are still many teachers in Papua who have not been appointed as civil servants because they have not met the required requirements.

"The central government must provide affirmation in the appointment of teachers for those who only graduated from high school with certain conditions," said the Vice President, on Tuesday (10/10/2023), during his working visit to Jayapura.

It is known that Vice President Amin in Jayapura directly chaired the Coordination Meeting of the Steering Board for the Acceleration of Papua Special Autonomy Development which was attended by Acting Governors in six provinces in the land of Papua.

The meeting also discussed a number of important issues related to development in Papua, one of which concerns improving the quality of education.

In addition to the issue of education, said the Vice President, the meeting also discussed the development of effective governance, especially in Southwest Papua, South Papua, Highland Papua and Central Papua.

"This meeting aims to accelerate the process of building facilities and infrastructure in 4 of the New Autonomous Regions in Papua. Including the obstacles faced by the local government in completing the staffing element," said Amin.

Prior to the meeting, the Vice President also held a meeting with humanitarian, human rights and peace activists and Papuan businessmen. ***
