PGRI

What PGRI does

PGRI (Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia), legally registered as Pengurus Besar Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia, is the largest and oldest professional association for teachers and education personnel in Indonesia, founded on November 25, 1945. The organization operates as a non-profit mass membership body representing teachers across all levels of Indonesian education — including civil servant (PNS) and non-civil servant (honorer) teachers — with a structural reach of 38 provincial chapters, 514 district/city chapters, 54 affiliated universities, and approximately 6,000 schools through its YPLP PGRI foundation. PGRI is officially recognized by the Indonesian government as an organisasi profesi (professional organization), with formal registration via the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham AHU), and is internationally affiliated with Education International, ITUC, and the ILO.

The organization's technology stack is primarily administrative: internal information systems including SIK/Sistem Keanggotaan PGRI (membership management), ASIK (financial information), SIP (management information for officials), and APKS (education personnel administration), supplemented by member-facing services such as SLCC PGRI (teacher card services) and LKBH PGRI (legal aid). In December 2024, PGRI expanded into educational technology through a CSR partnership with Acer Indonesia, which donated computer packages and the Jelajah Ilmu Learning Management System to PGRI schools managed by YPLP PGRI. PGRI also publishes Majalah Suara Guru magazine and an online scientific journal, and conducts events such as HUT Ke-79 celebrations, the OTN national IT competition, PINTAR webinars, and the Kemah Bakti Gerakan Revolusi Mental program.

PGRI's business model is a recurring subscription/membership-dues model (iuran) collected from teachers and education personnel across Indonesia, supplemented by institutional revenue from its affiliated universities and schools, CSR partnerships, and government program collaboration. Go-to-market is community-led through the chapter hierarchy, supported by a multi-channel mix including the official website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, print publications, press conferences, and international forums. The organization currently employs approximately 83 staff at the national headquarters and is governed by a congress system, with Prof. Dr. Unifah Rosyidi as Chairwoman (2024-2029 term) following the XXIII Congress in March 2024.
