BALI – DETEKSIPOST.COM – DPD member from Bali, Dr. Shri I Gusti Ngurah Arya Wedakarna Mahendradatta Wedasteraputra Suyasa, usually called Arya Wedakarna, visited SMP Negeri 5 Denpasar on Friday, October 18, 2022. The presence of the man who is also usually called AWK came to the school in order to participate in resolving the chaos after the demonstration against the students’ rejection of the principal , Dr. Putu Eka Juliana Jaya, who has only served at this school for 3 months on Thursday, October 20, 2022.
 
“Earlier I came to classes and directly met with almost all the younger siblings in the class and asked what the problem was? And there were some notes earlier. So, first of all, we heard directly from students that there were pros and cons. we take inventory, yes. Then secondly, our arrival here confirms that let’s keep the name of the school. And the pole asks the students, especially under the age of yes, under the law, the child should not be included in school politics because there is a channel. For example, if you don’t like the teacher, there is an error that is judged not to be good. The principal is the channel, right,” explained Wedakarna.
 
Answering reporters, is there a driving force behind the demo? “From me, there must be a driving motor, but it’s still speculation. Yes, it’s a guess, but according to the pole, right, because if we see, for example, there is a children’s gathering point, there are posters. permission. Well, earlier I also got input from one of the children that they are comparing the current principal with the previous one. So this is what I understand now. By chance, the office will have a meeting tomorrow. The office please listen to two fair directions, right? So far, we’ve only heard about it on social media, later on Nike. Secondly, my recommendation, in the sense that even if the principal of this school is replaced later, it must be in accordance with the laws and regulations. For example, there is a minimum limit, but there is a solution. there should be later from after the results of the investigation of the Service, I asked them for the principal, if they are healthy, how do you come to ngulat sarire, guyub apologizes, promises to fix it, but if it doesn’t happen again, it’s okay, but it’s not good, including before, this probably has never happened in Bali that these children who may take part in various demonstrations, especially intellectual actors, I think should be nurtured. Should be given a warning later. Processed by the Department, yes, because later, if this is allowed to happen, the whole of Bali will imitate. People like or not like the school owner, it’s normal, so this is conducive first,” concluded AWK.
 
On the other hand, the Head of the Denpasar City PPO Service, A.A. Gede Wiratama, responding to reporters, explained, “As the Head of the Denpasar Education and Youth Education Office, we see that this is just a misperception and blocked communication. So later on, our Principal will develop, and our Deputy Head of Sector will develop. Teachers too. So we will build everything. Tomorrow we will call for coaching,” he said.
 
“After that, we just develop the students, don’t join the demonstration. I’m dizzy. I just became the head of the office, I was immediately dizzy because of the demo,” he continued.
 
When asked whether the Principal will be replaced if there is no way out, he said, “Regarding whether it is replaced, yes, we will see later on the journey. Whether to change or not. We have a team to track and monitor,” he explained.
 
The same thing was conveyed by several fellow teachers of SMP Negeri 5 Denpasar who did not want to be named in the mass media. They explained that they did not know the real root cause of the students’ demands to reject Principal Dr. Putu Eka Juliana Jaya continued her leadership at the school.
 
“We as teachers, what are our main duties and responsibilities, that’s all we can do. Don’t let children become victims. So our job is not only to teach but also to educate,” said one teacher who asked not to be named.
 
“So in my opinion, we as teachers are learning what happened yesterday. In the future, we have a commitment that SMP 5 is ours. Who else, if not teachers, will raise our children. Of course, from yesterday’s incident, we want it to not happen again,” hope.
 
Asked what started the demonstration, he said, “We don’t know exactly what the problem is. At that time, we accompanied BKSDM to a workshop to prepare SKP. We were all in the room accompanying the father from BKSDM. Suddenly it was crowded outside We thought it was because the children were happy to win. It turned out that they were doing a demo,” he explained.
 
It also denies that what has been viral by one of the media is actually not the case. “In the news it says students are left outside, teachers are called by the headmaster is actually not true,” he argued.
 
“Since yesterday we are indeed preparing the SKP which will be collected on October 21, so the mother (the principal, ed) coordinates the teacher, we take sources from outside, which is the former principal here,” he continued.
 
“So the teacher was given a seat in the teacher’s room. It was not called because of the principal’s interest, this was in the interest of the teacher because he would make the SKP before the incident,” he said.
 
“Indications of the problem we do not know. For the current condition has returned to normal. Currently we are aware of each other, we forgive each other,” he concluded.
 
Meanwhile, Dr. Togar Situmorang as the attorney for the Principal of SMPN 5 Denpasar, Dr. Putu Eka Juliana Jaya, who was at the demonstration at that time, heard firsthand how the fact-finding conducted by Senator AWK was very wise and all of his suggestions, hopefully the students as well as the teachers and the Education Office, should not repeat this. Demos involving children who are underage.
 
This is clearly an alleged violation of the law and agrees to search for the brain that ordered and moved the Demo. Moreover, it can appear on youtube or social media until there are students who are also raised with banners. It was clear that there had been careful planning. And when asked the student council student, he mentioned one name to replace Dr. Putu Eka Juliani Jaya so that AWK asked the internal SMP 5 to hold a meeting so that the people involved would have a deterrent effect and not become a reference for students in other schools in the future to do the same thing in addressing the problems of their respective schools, especially in Denpasar City. This will clearly tarnish the world of education.
 
Dr. Togar Situmorang said that as the Principal’s Attorney Dr. Putu Eka Juliani Jaya is very supportive of the Steps and Suggestions, as well as input from the AWK Senator, both from an ethical and legal point of view towards alleged provocateurs and students whose classes are disorderly and involved in demonstrations.
 
“Hopefully the Denpasar City Education Office can carry out AWK’s mandate in a meeting held on Saturday, October 29, 2022, where AWK asks all parties within SMP 5 to reveal the real facts without any fear. Thus, this issue becomes clear and not blaming each other. Because this happened due to miscommunication and misperception, “said the famous Advocate Dr. Togar Situmorang.
 
“Hopefully this event will not happen again. We are obliged to keep the region conducive, especially since the G20 Presidency Summit is in sight, don’t tarnish the face of BALI with behavior and things that are not conducive in the eyes of world leaders,” concluded Dr. Togar Situmorang who has an office on Jalan Raya Banjar Gumecik, Gang Melati Number 8, By Pass Prof. IB Mantra Ketewel Gianyar Bali and Jalan Pejaten Raya Number 78, Rt 006/Rw 05, Pejaten Barat Village, Jakarta and Jalan Canal Jakarta Number 181 Ruko Harmoni Kav. 18, Antipani Bandung.
