SELAMAT MEMPERINGATI GURU NASIONAL

Memperingati Hari Guru Nasional

Selamat Memperingati Hari Guru Nasional!

Peringatan Hari Guru Nasional di Indonesia jatuh pada tanggal 25 November setiap tahunnya, bertepatan dengan berdirinya Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia (PGRI) pada tahun 1945. Dilansir dari laman Direktorat Guru Pendidikan Dasar sebelumnya, organisasi ini bernama Persatuan Guru Hindia Belanda (PGHB) yang didirikan pada tahun 1912. 

Anggotanya terdiri dari kepala sekolah, guru desa, guru bantu, serta perangkat sekolah lainnya. Pada 1932, PGHB mengganti namanya menjadi Persatuan Guru Indonesia (PGI). Namun, pada masa penjajahan Belanda, PGI sempat dilarang beraktivitas karena dianggap sebagai ancaman terhadap penjajah.

Setelah proklamasi kemerdekaan Indonesia, PGI menggelar Kongres Guru Indonesia pertama di Surakarta pada tanggal 24-25 November 1945. Kongres ini menghasilkan beberapa keputusan penting, termasuk menghapuskan perbedaan suku, ras, agama, dan politik, serta mengusung cita-cita kemerdekaan Indonesia melalui PGRI.

Pada 1994, Presiden Soeharto menetapkan 25 November sebagai Hari Guru Nasional berdasarkan Keputusan Presiden No 8 Tahun 1994. Hari Guru Nasional bertujuan memberikan penghormatan dan apresiasi kepada para guru di Indonesia atas dedikasi dalam mendidik dan membentuk karakter peserta didik.

Peringatan ini juga bertepatan dengan ulang tahun PGRI. Namun, peringatan Hari Guru Nasional tidak disertai dengan hari libur nasional. Biasanya, sekolah-sekolah di Indonesia mengadakan upacara untuk merayakan hari ini, sementara acara puncak dilaksanakan pemerintah pusat di Jakarta.

 

Selamat Hari Guru Nasional 2024, “Terima kasih telah menanamkan ilmu dan nilai-nilai luhur dalam diri kami, jasamu tak akan pernah kami lupakan.”

 

Commemorating National Teachers' Day

Happy National Teachers' Day!

National Teachers' Day in Indonesia falls on November 25 every year, coinciding with the establishment of the Indonesian Teachers Association (PGRI) in 1945. Reporting from the Directorate of Primary Education Teachers page, this organization was previously called the Dutch East Indies Teachers Association (PGHB) which was founded in 1912. 

Its members consisted of school principals, village teachers, auxiliary teachers, and other school officials. In 1932, the PGHB changed its name to the Indonesian Teachers Association (PGI). However, during the Dutch colonial period, PGI was banned from activities because it was considered a threat to the colonizers.

After the proclamation of Indonesian independence, PGI held the first Indonesian Teachers Congress in Surakarta on November 24-25, 1945. The congress made several important decisions, including eliminating ethnic, racial, religious and political differences, and promoting the ideals of Indonesian independence through PGRI.

In 1994, President Soeharto established November 25 as National Teachers' Day based on Presidential Decree No. 8 of 1994. National Teachers' Day aims to honor and appreciate teachers in Indonesia for their dedication in educating and shaping the character of students.

This commemoration also coincides with PGRI's anniversary. However, National Teachers' Day is not accompanied by a national holiday.

Usually, schools in Indonesia hold ceremonies to celebrate this day, while the peak event is held by the central government in Jakarta.

 

Happy National Teachers' Day 2024, "Thank you for instilling knowledge and noble values in us, your services will never be forgotten."
