Peraturan Presiden 19/2025 (Peraturan Presiden Nomor 19 Tahun 2025 tentang Tunjangan Kinerja Pegawai di Lingkungan Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi, Sains, dan Teknologi) is an Indonesian presidential regulation that sets the monthly performance allowance (tunjangan kinerja) paid to employees of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology. It was signed by President Prabowo Subianto and promulgated on 27 March 2025 as Lembaran Negara 2025 No. 39, and took effect on promulgation.[1][2] It concerns the staff of the ministry responsible for universities and research, and so belongs to both education law in Indonesia and the civil-service side of public administration in Indonesia.

The regulation followed the reorganisation of the ministry formerly responsible for education, culture, science and technology; Perpres 18/2025, signed on the same day, makes the corresponding provision for the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education.[3][4] The allowance applies retroactively from 1 January 2025, and, unlike the school-education regulation, this one excludes employees of state universities that are legal entities.[5][6] CRPG's regulatory tracker published an analysis of it in April 2026.[7]

Background

The preamble states that the reorganisation of ministries required the performance allowances of employees in ministries whose names had changed or which had been newly formed to be rearranged, and that the allowance for the ministry's employees is given according to the results of bureaucratic reform achieved by the ministry formerly responsible for education, culture, science and technology under Perpres 136/2018 on performance allowances at the Ministry of Education and Culture.[3:1] It cites the civil service law, Undang-Undang 20/2023 on the State Civil Apparatus, and Perpres 189/2024 on the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology.[3:2]

Provisions

The regulation applies to civil servants, government employees on work agreements and other employees appointed to positions approved by the minister for administrative reform, who work full time in the ministry's organisational units (Pasal 1).[8] They receive a monthly performance allowance in addition to their other income, taking into account their performance achievements, at the amounts set in the annex for seventeen position classes (Pasal 2 and 3).[8:1][9] The allowance runs from 1 January 2025, taking into account allowances already received (Pasal 4).[5:1] The minister receives 150 per cent of the allowance for the highest position class in the ministry, and the deputy minister 90 per cent of the minister's allowance, both from the date of inauguration; income tax is levied under the tax legislation (Pasal 5 and 6).[10]

Pasal 7 excludes employees without a specific position, those temporarily dismissed or deactivated, those removed from office on waiting pay, those on leave outside state responsibility or released from duty in preparation for retirement, employees of public service agencies (badan layanan umum) that already receive remuneration under the public service agency rules, and employees of state universities with legal-entity status (perguruan tinggi negeri badan hukum).[6:1] Position classes are set by the minister, and changes require the approval of the minister for administrative reform, and also of the Minister of Finance where they change the allowance budget (Pasal 8).[11]

A functional official who receives a professional allowance (tunjangan profesi) is paid only the difference between the performance allowance for the position class and the professional allowance, and receives the professional allowance alone if it is larger (Pasal 9).[11:1] Recipients must maintain the implementation of bureaucratic reform, which the minister and the National Bureaucratic Reform Team monitor and evaluate, and further rules are left to a regulation of the minister (Pasal 10 to 12).[12]

Transition

Pasal 13 keeps in force the implementing regulations of Perpres 136/2018 so far as they are consistent with the new regulation. Unlike Perpres 18/2025, which revokes Perpres 136/2018 in its Pasal 14, this regulation contains no revocation article; its Pasal 14 is the entry-into-force provision.[13][1:1][4:1]
