Abstract

This study examines the eco-eschatological dimensions embedded in the myths and traditions of pante among the Manggarai people of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The pante tradition is not merely understood as an economic activity involving the tapping and processing of palm sap, but also as a cultural practice that embodies ecological, spiritual, social, and ethical values. Through this tradition, the Manggarai people maintain a harmonious relationship with nature and recognize their responsibility toward the environment as part of a sacred cosmic order. This study employs a qualitative approach based on literature review and hermeneutical-theological analysis to explore the symbolic meanings and theological implications of the pante myth. The findings reveal that the pante myth reflects the Manggarai people’s cosmological worldview, in which nature is regarded as a living and sacred reality that must be respected and protected. Furthermore, the tradition promotes an ethic of sustainability that discourages excessive exploitation of natural resources and encourages balance between human needs and environmental preservation. From an eco-eschatological perspective, the pante tradition represents a vision of hope for the restoration of relationships among humans, nature, and God, anticipating the fulfillment of the “new heaven and new earth.” Therefore, this study affirms that Manggarai local wisdom provides a valuable contribution to the development of contextual, ecological, and sustainable theology in contemporary society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the low wages of honorary teachers in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), and its impact on the quality of education using Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory as a perspective. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, combining literature review and secondary data analysis from various relevant sources, including government reports, journal articles, and media news. The results indicate that most of the teachers’ basic needs, especially physiological and safety needs, have not been optimally met due to low income and job insecurity. This condition negatively affects teachers’ motivation, professionalism, and teaching quality in schools. While social needs are relatively fulfilled through community support, teachers’ esteem and self-actualization needs remain constrained. Policy disparities, limited facilities, and minimal social protection further exacerbate the situation. The study concludes that the welfare issue of honorary teachers in Flores is a systemic problem that requires serious attention from the government and education stakeholders. The study recommends fairer policy reforms, enhanced teacher welfare, and professional development support to sustainably improve the quality of education.
