Abstract
The preamble to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia has mandated to educate the nation's life. The government embodies the intellectual life of the nation by pursuing and implementing a national education system that aims to improve the quality of Indonesian people. The quality of Indonesian people is produced through the provision of quality education by professional educators. Teachers as professional educators have a very strategic function, role, and position. Therefore, to support the strategic function and role of teachers as educators, legal protection efforts need to be made. This is intended to provide a sense of security and comfort for teachers in carrying out their duties and profession. Constitutionally, teachers as citizens have the right to be protected. The provisions for the legal protection of teachers in Indonesia are generally regulated in Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System, Law Number 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers, Government Regulation Number 74 of 2008 concerning Teachers, and specifically regulated in a Ministerial Regulation Education and Education and Culture Number 10 of 2017 concerning Protection of Educators and Education Personnel. This study aims to determine the juridical review of the protection of teachers as educators. This research is normative legal research using a statutory and conceptual approach.
