Viral Moment Honorary Teacher Receives Salary, Smiling Even Though the Amount is Not Much

Dream - Responsible for educating the future generation, teachers are the most needed profession worldwide.

Due to the high number of applicants, competition to become a civil servant (PNS) teacher is not easy. Therefore, many teachers still have honorary status with a salary that is far different from PNS teachers.

Unlike civil servants, honorary teachers are not given facilities and retirement benefits.

Although the received salary is far from prosperous, the happiness of receiving the salary is immeasurable because it is the result of their own hard work for a month.

Recently, there has been a viral moment on social media where honorary teachers are happy after receiving a month's salary.

Although it's not up to Rp 1 million, the happiness on their faces clearly makes netizens happy.

In a video uploaded by the Instagram account @insta_julid, it shows someone distributing the salary of honorary teachers.

They put the money in a white envelope, complete with the name and salary amount on the front of the envelope.

"Distribution of honorary teacher's salary," they wrote in the video.

The amount of salary varies, ranging from Rp 150,000 - Rp 800,000. Although the value is far below the minimum wage received by employees, some honorary teachers are still grateful and happy.

It's unclear what message is conveyed behind the words, but they seemed enthusiastic when they were about to open the envelope.

This video quickly went viral on social media.

"InshaAllah, their rewards (honorary teachers) will continue to flow, educating their students so that their knowledge will be passed down to future generations," wrote @lidiahutama

"Oh Allah... they're smiling happily... but it makes me sad to see it. I can't bear to see their salary... even though their contribution in educating the nation's generation is extraordinary. Please forgive me 🙏🏼," wrote @callme_riry

"Sad and heartwarming to see this video circulating 😭😭," wrote @endahkurniasih56
