The Professional Association of Indonesian Teachers (PGRI) continues to fight for the welfare of teachers and educators, demonstrating a commitment to this cause. The PGRI DKI Jakarta Province is a key player in achieving its organizational goals. Through its mechanisms, the organization is able to effectively pursue its objectives. The organization is governed by its AD/ART, which oversees meetings at the national and local level focused on policymaking for improving teacher welfare. Since the formation of the Law on Teachers and Lecturers in 2005, which provides a legal basis for demands for improved teacher welfare, the struggle for better working conditions for teachers has intensified. There are not only demands for teacher professional allowances, but also struggles for local governments and other related institutions, such as regional allowances, grants, self-protection (such as in the collaboration between POLRI and PGRI), housing, and so on. The teacher's professional position and dignity are important considerations when making decisions about what to do in the classroom
Indonesia is a country with many different tribes and cultures. Each region has its own characteristics that will be imprinted in the memory of each individual, which will eventually become an icon of a particular area. One of the city's icons is Ondel-Ondel from Betawi. Ondel-Ondel are giant dolls that are understood by the Betawi people as sacred culture and are used in ritual sacrifices to ancestral spirits. At first Ondel-Ondel was created as a way to repel reinforcements from the Betawi tribe. However, now everything is different. Ondel-Ondel is no longer considered sacred. The existence of Ondel-Ondel art is no longer used for cultural activities but is misused in street activities. This means that there has been a change in this Betawi Ondel-Ondel art. These changes are caused by social conditions. This is why efforts to increase awareness of local culture need to be increased. Changing times have formed new patterns of thinking about things that are traditional and not all people know the meaning behind the Betawi Ondel-Ondel art. The research method used is a qualitative method, data collection is done through literature studies, observations and interviews.
