Professor Muhajir Effendy's first message when
Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of
Indonesia: "Teachers are the key to successor
generation education. Therefore, teachers must be
really competent, competent, and professional in
carrying out the task educate. To that end, teachers
should come from a group of intelligent citizens,
have idealism, wide view, and high dedication. The
government is obliged to develop a conducive and
inspirational working environment for teachers to
develop and develop. During this time teachers
treated the same as the administrative staff in
general. Even worse is the working climate that only
disciplines teachers, frightening with sanctions such
as lifting educational allowances, barriers to
promotion, and so forth, not educating and not
encouraging teachers to move forward. Working
climate like this should be abandoned because it is
only suitable for sugar cane planting and not inviting
the best sons and daughters of the nation to become
a teacher"

qualifications and competencies in a sustainable
manner along with the development of science,
technology, and art.
