The teacher was pushed for buying a laptop

Unfortunately, many policies in Indonesia tend to discourage their people more instead of being helpful such as this one. How can they expect to make that policy work knowing the price of the laptop and the teacher's salary is incompatible? The teachers would have much more basic needs to use their salary on instead of buying an overpriced laptop. I'm not trying to rub this in; but here, all students in my son's high school receive a free laptop to use at school and at home.

I think most of the teachers will complain on forcing them to buy useful products that they are not their plans. But if I am one of those teachers, i am willing to but it if it met my standard choice of classifications of hardware and software specs, but mostly, it didn't met my standards, because i am preferring a low version of Operating System but a High Hardware and mostly "ASUS" brand, and if will not met my choice, i will be the one to complain that it's a corruption too.

A teacher has to buy a laptop to get certification for....?

You know how it goes... If you buy through A, then B, then C. Then here it goes. From 7 million, C will get 1 million. Passing through B, who get another 1 million. Then, A will take the last 1 million, and finally it reached the actual price 4 million to the seller. But who's got to pay the whole 7 million? You know the answer...

Ahh, I know. One of my relative had bought laptop cz of this new policy. You know for old teacher it is hard to learn about computer even laptop. Well I hope the Diknas will put a border that only teacher that are able to use and learn computer have to buy laptop. Not all of the teacher, cz there are lots senior teacher that are not certified yet

I think teachers should be rejected, because there is no clarity of the relevant service, plus the price of the laptop is far more than the normal price, and I think it is unreasonable to require certification of buying a laptop...!

This is not good teacher should not pushed the student to purchase anything some time if the students has no money but they take the money from parents by forcing only due to teacher force.

Hi there adhyz, this is significantly and obviously corruption the people who did this should be put in jail and removed from there posts, life is already hard as it is and to force teachers to buy something over priced and should be something that is not forced is illegal, years ago this also happened in my country something of this nature, the department handling the Vehicles in my country imposed that car owners can only renew vehicle certificates if they buy overpriced early warning device that was priced five times the original prize and even if you have the same exact early warning device good thing the department head back then was removed of service. But he should had been jailed for grave corruption.

Yeah.. it is corruption,..i think that's policy is detrimental on the part of those teachers, those victims of that weird policy should take action to defend their right.

Wow what a policy. Good thing in our country, All teachers and pupils in public elementary school will be given free Laptops. As of now they haven't reach all public schools in our country. Because the the organizations who are releasing laptops need more funds. They are still campaigning for it. I hope officials on the organizations will not corrupt so that the pupils and teachers will able to receive the laptops.

Its very sad that some police are abusing their power for personal welfare. This problem should be address by the government. Teachers are not receiving millions that they can easily but laptop for the sake of certification. And the government should be involve with this concern. Maybe they can issue a laptop to their teachers. It can be of great help, not just to comply with the certification but also improving the teachers idea on computers. one day, they can use it to help their students
