If The teacher demonstrating good

In Tegal Indonesia on Monday (4/1/10) about 4,000 teachers marched in front of Parliament House demanding Kab.Tegal increase welfare benefits and the teachers reject discrimination WB (Kompas, 5/1/10). It is ironic indeed education fighters to be rallying together students with the real classic issue of "welfare". There are various reasons why the march is to demand something, maybe there are channels of communication disabilities, the path is not mediation produced an agreement, or even just for a mass show of force.

Honorarium of teachers welfare problems in private schools has become a national issue after certification policies intended only for teachers, whereas in private schools only for Teachers Still a certification are eligible. Formal judicial true there is no legal umbrella shading honorarium teachers or private teachers, all policies submitted to the school management (foundation) or the principal, so no wonder the status of employees is also very vulnerable to sudden dismissed. Thus the government actually sometimes do not have valid data that actually the number of private teachers because many teachers out of teaching at a school.

Government Department of Education in this case may have been trying to discipline the teacher data and issuing staff with NUPTK (Number of Unique Education and Workforce), but for teachers who teach in the honorarium of two or more NUPTK where it is usually rejected. On the other hand the private schools also tend to recruit teachers according to his own standards and even a phenomenon that appears anyone can become a teacher, even a non-scientific background education. Being a teacher can not just rely on, but must have good sense or taste to be a non-education graduates pendidik.Banyak as hard to get a job eventually became a teacher. Teaching profession as if easily done by anyone, so do not be surprised if its output was not very encouraging.

Thus if the certification of teachers to improve teacher quality because it comes from a variety of scholarship for distandarisaikan it is a good start, but the phenomenon appears many teachers want to follow the certification only after the material alone (money). We agree that the professional is to be paid memamng expensive but sometimes weak moral responsibility. Many researches reveal after the certification of teachers' performance was not increased significantly.

Honorarium for teachers with low income are facing a big dilemma, on one hand wants to devote himself to education, on the other side of the material itself also needs to continue living. But the laws of nature say struggling because the pleasures of life payahlah being enfolded in hard work. became a teacher in today's demanding creativity, high inovavasi to menggembangkan potential that will impact their students. Good Friends fight Indonesian Teacher Gusti Ora Sare God.
