Summary of "BREAKING NEWS - KOMISI VIII DPR RI RDPU DENGAN FORUM PASSING GRADE KEMENAG SWASTA STATUS P 2023"

Public Hearing on 2023 Private Ministry of Manpower Passing Grade (P3K) Forum

The video covers a public hearing (RDPU) held by Commission 8 of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) with representatives of the 2023 Private Ministry of Manpower Passing Grade (P3K) Forum. The forum consists of private madrasa teachers across Indonesia who have passed the Ministry of Religion’s P3K test with a threshold score (P status) and hold valid UKOM certificates. They gathered to voice concerns about discrimination and delays in their official appointment as government employees (P3K), despite fulfilling all legal and administrative requirements.

Main Issues and Arguments

Discrimination and Inequality

Private madrasa teachers who passed the 2023 P3K test feel discriminated against compared to their counterparts under the Ministry of Education and Culture, who have been able to register and be appointed earlier (since 2021).
The Ministry of Manpower’s private sector teachers were only allowed to register in 2023 and have yet to be appointed, despite passing the test and meeting all criteria.
Concern exists about non-ASNs (non-civil servants) with lesser qualifications or those who failed the 2024 test being prioritized over those who passed in 2023.

Legal and Regulatory Basis

Teachers cited the ASN Law No. 20 of 2023, Government Regulation No. 49 of 2018, and relevant Ministerial decrees as their legal foundation.
They emphasized their equal right to become ASN employees after fulfilling all requirements.
References were made to Ministry of Education and Culture regulations that allow placement in private schools, requesting similar treatment for madrasas under the Ministry of Religion.

Challenges Faced by Teachers

Many teachers have served for decades (some over 20 years) and continue to struggle for recognition and fair treatment.
They endure hardships such as traveling long distances for tests, financial burdens, and uncertainty about their employment status.
Some teachers are near retirement but still have not received official appointments.
Frustration was expressed over slow bureaucratic processes and lack of coordination between ministries, especially between the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan RB).

Support from Commission 8

Members of Commission 8 expressed strong support for the teachers’ demands and acknowledged the injustice.
They pledged to continue advocating for the appointment of qualified teachers as P3K.
Commission 8 emphasized the need to push the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Menpan RB to accelerate the appointment process and allocate sufficient budget for Islamic education personnel.
Ongoing legislative efforts were highlighted, including revisions to the National Education System Law (in Commission 10), to recognize madrasas and Islamic boarding schools as integral parts of national education without discriminatory regimes.

Planned Follow-Up

A working meeting is scheduled for November 11, 2024, involving the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Director General of Islamic Education, and relevant officials to address the P3K appointment issue.
Commission 8 intends to continue oversight and pressure to ensure the teachers’ rights are fulfilled.
The forum hopes that by National Teachers’ Day (November 25, 2024), there will be a clear decree and certainty regarding their appointment.

Key Themes

The struggle for equal rights and fair treatment of private madrasa teachers in government employment.
Bureaucratic and inter-ministerial challenges delaying the appointment of qualified teachers.
The role of Commission 8 as an advocate and mediator for the teachers’ concerns.
The broader context of improving Islamic education and integrating madrasas fully into the national education system.
