Abstract

Teachers are educators who carry out their duties and obligations professionally. However, there is a clash between enforcing discipline to students and Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. The main problem in this research is analyzing the reasons for the need for legal education for teachers to prevent the criminalization of teachers in learning and government efforts to prevent the criminalization of teachers in learning. This research used a juridical-normative approach method with secondary data, which was analyzed deductively using descriptive-analytical data analysis. The results of the research and discussion show that legal education is needed for teachers to prevent criminalization because teachers receive protection through Law No. 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers and Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System. The many conflicting cases of enforcing teacher discipline for students and the imposition of sanctions, which result in criminalization, encourage the need for legal education and legal understanding for teachers in Indonesia. Efforts that the government can make to prevent criminalization are providing legal outreach programs for teachers in Indonesia, strengthening legal protection regulations for teachers in learning, and providing character education to students.

Abstract

Teachers in several regions have increasingly faced legal charges for administering disciplinary actions that were intended as educational corrections for students. This situation highlights the need for clear legal protection to safeguard teachers and other educational personnel as they perform their professional duties. The objective of this study is to examine the legal protections available to teachers and identify preventive measures to minimize disciplinary violations in public elementary school clusters in Clering. The study employs an empirical juridical methodology, combining secondary data as the theoretical foundation with primary data obtained from field observations, interviews, and community studies to evaluate the effectiveness of existing government regulations. The results indicate that legal protections for teachers in disciplinary cases are diverse and vary by jurisdiction, aiming to balance students' rights with the need to maintain order and discipline in schools. The study concludes that these protections promote fairness, prevent unjust criminalization of teachers, and strengthen professional autonomy. This research contributes to legal science by providing empirical evidence on how teacher protection policies operate in practice within Indonesia's educational context.
