Tuesday (14/1) Then, The Sukma Abdi Medan Foundation announced the suspension of Haryati, the teacher who punished students for arrears in the contribution of education development (SPP).
Responding to the case, Bukik Setiawan, Head of Teacher Learn Foundation (GBF) question the management of the foundation. The reason, Administrative affairs such as SPP payments should not be the domain of the teacher.
"The estuary of this issue is the governance of the education unit. SPP billing is not a teacher's responsibility. Teacher is responsible for educating students, not managing finances, said Buck.
Bukik suspected the pressure from the foundation that encouraged the teacher to take responsibility for the late payment of student tuition fees, which eventually makes the teacher pressure the students.
This allegation was answered on Haryati's statement that aired on Metrotv on Monday (13/1). Haryati revealed, He asked three of his students to convey to parents to take report cards which means they have to pay off the SPP if you want to learn.
Two students decided not to attend school, while the student whose video was viral still departed. Haryati then decided to give a different treatment by ordering the student to study on the floor.
"Communication so that parents pay off SPPs should not occur between teachers and students, but the school or foundation to parents. Not a school to a teacher, then the teacher to the student, and student to his parents,"Bukik said.
"If it turns out there are difficulties from the parents, School management or foundations that take proactive steps to find solutions. Not then burden this responsibility to the teacher,he continued.
Furthermore, Bukik invites teachers not to sacrifice the main tasks to carry out additional tasks. Through this case, Additional burden that is not appropriate is proven not only to divert the focus of the teacher from his main task but also creates the disharmony of the teacher with students.
Besides that, Bukik also reiterated the importance of school management to distinguish teaching and administrative tasks that have nothing to do with the teacher.
Schools need to ensure that teachers work in supporting environments in order to create meaningful learning. Thus students are also comfortable and safe for learning. (Yosi)
