In fact, the rotation of officials was carried out through lawful and transparent civil service mechanisms and were not related to differing technical views on laptop operating systems.
In fact, the rotation of officials was carried out through lawful and transparent civil service mechanisms and were not related to differing technical views on laptop operating systems.
The rotation of officials during the relevant period was conducted through an open selection / open bidding process. Appointment decisions were based on competence, track record, and performance, in accordance with the applicable open selection guidelines within the ministry.
Appointment outcomes were not based on preferences or recommendations regarding operating systems, whether Windows or Chrome. Procurement policy and human resource management are separate domains and do not interfere with one another.
The rotation of officials was part of the Open Selection Process for Primary High Leadership Positions (JPT Pratama) at the Ministry of Education and Culture for the positions of Director of Primary Education and Director of Junior Secondary Education, and formed part of a broader open selection for 17 JPT positions, as follows:
4 March 2020: Announcement of the Open Selection Invitation for Primary High Leadership Positions (JPT Pratama) at the Ministry of Education and Culture
24 March 2020: Postponement of the Announcement Schedule for Administrative Selection Results and Subsequent Selection Stages for 17 JPT Pratama Positions
27 March 2020: Extension of the Application Period for the Open Selection of 17 JPT Pratama Positions
22 April 2020: Announcement of Administrative Selection Results and Schedule for Subsequent Selection Stages for JPT Pratama
8 May 2020: Conduct of Interviews by the Selection Committee for JPT Pratama
29 May 2020: Announcement of Final Selection Results for 17 JPT Pratama Positions
Allegation
Claims have circulated alleging that officials within the ministry were removed because they recommended using the Windows ecosystem and did not align with the Chromebook procurement policy.
Fact
These allegations have no factual or administrative basis. The Minister does not have the authority to directly remove structural officials at the Echelon II level. The appointments and replacements of structural positions are governed by the state civil service management system and must follow formally prescribed procedures.
