Abstract

Teachers in the scope of history in educating the nation^s life have been known as unsung heroes. Therefore, teachers are placed as the front line to foster and teach the next generation of science that will be the provision for the future. The predicate of the teacher as an unsung hero has become a social reality with the welfare of honorary teachers who are still far from worthy. This is also exacerbated by the policy agenda for the elimination of honorary teachers in the coming years due to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2014 concerning the State Civil Apparatus (UU ASN) which does not recognize the term honorary teacher and only accommodates civil servants (PNS). ) and Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK). Therefore, it can be said that the ASN Law from the beginning was intended as a legal basis to abolish honorary teachers but did not provide a solution in its future implementation.
This research is categorized into normative legal research type, it is based on the issues and/or themes raised as research topics using a philosophical and analytical research approach which is analyzed descriptively analytically. The results of the study show that the legislative ratio of the ASN Law is intended for the efficiency of government employees and is regulated by good administration. The ASN Law does not accommodate teachers in the honorary category because the recruitment system is considered poor and prone to nepotism. However, what needs to be underlined is the recruitment and need for honorary teachers due to the lack of education personnel. In addition, the ASN Law does not have flexibility because it does not provide a regulatory space for honorary category teachers.
