Mechanism behind the Number of Teachers and Education Personnel:Empirical Study of Data Collection of Teacher and Education Personnel (UNTEP) in Indonesia

Abstract

It is important to government to anticipate the data duplication possibility in counting the number of teachers and education Personnel (TEP) that cause inaccurate data collection. Counting duplication may be occurred because of inevitable situation such as TEP can work at more than one schools without anticipation possibility that one teacher could be counted as more than one teacher. Worse, geographically it is highly possible that TEP can work for more then one school, different schools at the same districts or different schools at different districts and maybe at different provinces. Whereas, the accurate TEP data is always required by the Ministry of National Education (MONE) to make a strategic plan. In many situation inaccuracy data raise hesitations to estimate the government budget. To reduce the hesitations, MONE need the system that can detect, control and prevent the occurrence of duplication. Detection of duplication can be attempted through the similarity information attached on each individual TEP, either permanent or temporary. In Indonesia, The ministry of national education of Indonesia has unique number for teacher and education personnel (UNTEP) which well known as NUPTK in Indonesia. NUPTK also detect duplicated TEP through the similarity information attached on each individual TEP. NUPTK is generated after uniqueness ascertained and guaranteed.
