Mayor of Cilegon, Helldy Agustian, requested Wilastri Rahayu, the Head of the City of Cilegon’s Development Planning, Research, and Development Agency (Bappedalitbang), to take note of these matters.
“Regarding the honorarium increase for cadres, I see these cadres as angels with extraordinary sincerity. But I invite everyone to be grateful because the cadres’ honorarium in Cilegon is much higher, reaching Rp300,000 and paid monthly,” he said.
Regarding the increase in honorarium for PAUD and TK teachers, Helldy mentioned that they have already been raised from Rp450,000 to Rp675,000. This includes religious teachers, for whom we have provided grants from Rp22 billion to Rp33 billion. Likewise, school principals and teachers in remote mountain areas have been taken into account with the hope that their sincerity value also increases,” he added.

As for the facilities of primary and secondary schools, we are developing an application so that if there are issues in these schools, they can be reported and processed immediately,” the Mayor added.(red)
