The government raises the status of part‑time PPPK employees to full‑time starting 1 January 2027. The announcement was delivered by State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi after a finalisation meeting on personnel matters with the House of Representatives and several ministers at the Senayan parliamentary complex in Jakarta on Friday, 6 November 2026.
Prasetyo explained that initially the recruitment scheme was intended only for education personnel or teachers, but after the government’s calculations it was expanded to other cross‑sector professions, including lecturers, fire‑fighting officers, Satpol PP, health workers, as well as technical and service personnel.
"Then Satpol PP, then health workers or medical personnel, then technical or service personnel, or other implementing staff. So, as it is called, the status will be upgraded from part‑time to full‑time PPPK," said Prasetyo in front of reporters on Friday, 6 November 2026.
A similar policy was previously announced by the Minister of Basic and Secondary Education Abdul Mu'ti at the end of September 2026, stating that the upgrade of part‑time PPPK teachers to full‑time would occur without a test and would start on 1 January 2027. He added that local governments were asked to conduct data collection so that the status change could be implemented on that date.
