Indonesian government urged to improve working conditions of kindergarten teachers in state-owned PT Pembangunan Jembatan Merah (TKBM) at the port.
A group of Sarbumusi union members have sent a letter to the government, demanding better facilities and salaries for their colleagues who work at TKBM. The teachers are responsible for educating children of migrant workers' families while also taking care of them during their parents' absence.
The union claims that many kindergarten teachers at TKBM face difficulties in accessing basic necessities such as clean water and proper sanitation facilities, which is affecting their overall well-being. Additionally, they receive relatively low salaries compared to other state-owned enterprises.
Sarbumusi's leadership expressed concerns about the working conditions of these teachers, emphasizing the need for improvement in order to ensure their safety and health. The union also wants the government to provide additional support for the teachers, including training programs and equipment upgrades.
A spokesperson from the Ministry of Manpower has acknowledged the issues faced by kindergarten teachers at TKBM and promised to look into the matter. However, no specific timeline or resolution has been provided yet.
This issue highlights the often-overlooked struggles of migrant workers' families in Indonesia, who rely on their children's education as a lifeline for their economic stability.
