Jakarta (ANTARA) – The government will create one million positions for civil service candidates (CPNS) and contract-based government employees (PPPK), especially in the fields of education and health for 2024.”We hope that regional (governments) will soon propose (their quota for) PPPK because right now education and health are priorities. We (the central government) are proposing one million positions for 2024,” Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Abdullah Azwar Anasinformed at the Presidential Palace Complex here on Thursday. nas said he expects local governments to soon propose quotas for their contract-based workers who are receiving honorariums in the priority fields of education and health. The government has prepared 700 thousand positions in the education and health sectors for honorarium workers, but the total number of positions proposed by local governments has only reached 400 thousand, he added. The opening of these positions is aimed at supporting honorarium workers who have not been promoted as state apparatus (ASN) or PPPK. Currently, the government is preparing the best option regarding the plan to erase positions of honorarium workers in ministries and government institutions starting November 28, 2023. t a cabinet meeting with President Joko Widodo, Anas said that the ministry, together with the regional leadership associations as well as the House of Representatives, is striving to find the best option for honorarium workers by not laying them off, while still not burdening the state budget. The President has asked for a solution for millions of honorarium workers who have not been promoted as ASNs. ccording to him, mass layoffs will affect public services because the workers are, in fact, helping the government, especially in remote areas. “Many of them work in lighthouses, in those (remote) areas there are a lot of non-ASNs that contribute tremendously,” he said. baca-jugaRelated news: MPR seeks road map for Papuan civil servants’ developmentRelated news: ASN urged to improve public services by bolstering digital literacy
