inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Abdul Mu'ti, stated that the government will directly transfer teacher allowances to personal accounts individually, without being transferred through the regional government, as is currently the case.

"We will have a direct transfer of teacher allowances. We will transfer the allowances directly to teacher accounts without going to the regional government, directly from the Ministry of Finance," he said, as reported by the Antaranews page, on Monday (3/10/2025).

On this occasion, he said that his party had discussed the technicalities of the regulation with the Presidential Staff Office (KSP).

The regulation or legal umbrella that confirms the transfer of teacher allowances to teachers' personal accounts, said Mu'ti, has also been completed.

Currently, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is in the stage of collecting teachers' accounts to ensure the smoothness of the allowances provided.

President Prabowo Subianto will also directly announce the new policy to the public after the schedule is in accordance. So far, the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education has asked President Prabowo's willingness to announce the policy on March 20, 2025.

"Later, the President will convey this new policy where teacher allowances will be transferred directly without the need for regional government accounts. We are now looking for the correct time of the transfer as we will definitely announce it to the public," he explained.
