Sorry, my post above yours may have been unclear. When I said that I was using a means of transport which exposed me to the public, I didn't actually mean nor was I thinking about "public transport" (though I did commute by angkot for a short time). I did not mean to be dismissive of the...- Pak Asam Manis

US Presidential Election - What's your take?
It's a long time between early August and early November. Can anyone remember what people (including media outlets, polls and pollsters, etc) were saying about W's chances of winning on August 1st, 2000?- Pak Asam Manis

US Presidential Election - What's your take?
A Face In The Crowd I almost didn't read this article (actually a book review) because I saw that it's from the New York Post. I did read it and glad I did, and I recommend it to anyone who, like me, struggles to understand how or why so many Americans would support someone like Trump. Never...- Pak Asam Manis

New Education Minister
I would guess that the time period we were respectively in K-12 is not too far apart. Apart from a year in a British school in Kuwait when I was 4-5, and three and a half years at JES, all my schooling was in the public schools in the US. From what I can tell, the experience in the public school...- Pak Asam Manis

There you go again ... that's not what I said. It's like you're only capable of focusing on "the glass is half empty" (or mostly empty) rather than "the glass is partly empty, and partly full" ... can't things be a bit more complex than "everything sucks" or "everything's A-ok"? Who said...- Pak Asam Manis

My wife attended sekolah negeri as well as all her family members did and do to this day, but I personally have no experience of them. I will admit that from what I read and hear, or see on tv what image is formed in my head of them is not inconsistent with what you have said here. My personal...- Pak Asam Manis

I have no idea about "torang" and sure that it is from Manadonese, but I think the rest is something about "all brothers" (samua = semua, all and sudara, saudara, brother)- Pak Asam Manis

Okay .... cheers. (not necessarily meaning you've brought me around to your point of view, just that I appreciate your explanation, it is certainly "logical" enough :D and I will not continue the argument here, as I feel it would be done to little purpose.) Hmm ... sounds a lot like an accurate...- Pak Asam Manis

Working at a school on a spouse sponsored KITAS
Fewer headaches ... (sorry, but you can't have less headaches, only fewer of them ... countable vs, non-countable nouns sort of thing.) Anyway ... under the indications you've given about who is classified as "Pendidik" it may well be that no employer would want to do such a thing. On the...- Pak Asam Manis

Working at a school on a spouse sponsored KITAS
Okay, so this seems to provide the reasonable answer against my example being plausible or correct, by informing that many kinds of job functions in schools other than "guru" are also considered as "pendidik" thereby requiring the same process and qualification (= leads to IMTA). I suppose...- Pak Asam Manis

No worries. Threads involving Indonesian law are capable of causing a lot more than just brain farts, I think ... aches, pains, aneurisms, implosions or explosions may also be on the menu.- Pak Asam Manis

Working at a school on a spouse sponsored KITAS
Did you intentionally refer to the WNI (spouse) here, or did you mean the WNA (the one who's working as a foreigner married to the WNI)? If the WNA spouse is working for a third party, the only ones who could get in trouble about the working, seems to me, would be the employer or the WNA ...- Pak Asam Manis

Working at a school on a spouse sponsored KITAS
You may have a point, keeping in mind BA's caveat to use the term "common sense" cautiously round here, but I can't see why or how and Izin Pendidik would be applicable or required for any position of employment in a school, other than "guru" ... schools employ administrative staff, other...- Pak Asam Manis

Right. That is what I am reading too, by the illumination from atlantis's post. I'm just asking for more confirmation / clarification that this is correct, and I'll take your affirmation as an excellent start. :)- Pak Asam Manis

Working at a school on a spouse sponsored KITAS
Okay. But let me -again - try to make clear what I am talking about in my last three posts above this: 1) It is NOT about being employed as a teacher; 2) It IS about being employed by a school or its foundation (not as working in one's own "family business") and the rest as already outlined...- Pak Asam Manis

Working at a school on a spouse sponsored KITAS
No, I d on't think that they are different. As BA and I have both said, there are regulatory requirements and qualifications which must be met for the approval and employment of foreigners as teachers however, I don't know of anything in Indonesian law saying that "guru kelas" is the only role...- Pak Asam Manis

Originally Posted by atlantis In my understanding, it means that in order to be employed as a formal teacher, a WNA is subject to approval of DikNas ('izin Pendidik), which follows the issuance of RPTKA as he said (the "TKA" is clearly for 'tukang kerja asing). Therefore, there is no getting...- Pak Asam Manis
