This is Why Indonesia still has “Dolores Umbridge” Teachers

Dolores Jane Umbridge was one of the characters in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Her first appearance was in Harry Potter’s hearing as an interrogator. Umbridge was placed as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts as a spy. Because the Ministry did not want the rumor that Voldemort has back spread over the school. —

When Umbridge was appointed as the new teacher, it didn’t take time for her to be the most hated person for people at Hogwarts. Not only her personality that made the students were too afraid to cross her. It’s also because she tended to keep the traditional rule in teaching.

To this day, it seems easy to find Indonesian teachers giving physical punishment to their Students. Like Umbridge used Cruciatus Curse to Harry because she caught Harry sneaking into her office. Teachers sometimes don’t care about the reality that physical punishment is illegal. The only thing they want is to make their students obey them no matter how. Not only the “teaching way” this writing tries to reveal two other perspectives about why Indonesia still has Umbridge teachers.

The first reason is that; like Dolores who had not enjoyed her time at school, where she had been overlooked for all positions of responsibility, and she relished the chance to return and wield power over those who had not (as she saw it) given her her due. Indonesian teachers don’t enjoy their role at school because most of the time they feel burden with the school’s (administrative) task; besides teaching, they have to record students’ attendance, create tons of lesson plans, grade students’ homework, and write quizzes.

Besides, the way Dolores became a Hogwarts teacher because the Minister, Cornelius Fudge, has used new laws to effect improvements at the wizarding school. Then for a reason, the current Headmaster being unable to provide a candidate for a teaching post, the Ministry should select an appropriate person. Just like how Fudge selected Dolores, the Indonesian government recruits teachers because of social expectations prioritizing seniority rather than merit as indicators of teacher performance.

As written in RISE Programme, Indonesia’s teacher recruitment process is dysfunctional because of the inchoate political and legal institutions. The teaching profession is held back by laws and regulations that obfuscate rather than clarify institutional responsibilities over the recruitment process.
