RuangGuru Underpays Teachers and Interns to Earn More

Ruangguru is one of the most innovative digital learning platform start-ups, even partnering with big digital platform companies like Microsoft. With the jargon “Bimbel Online No 1”, until this news release, RuangGuru is still the favorite choice of online education supplements for students in Indonesia. Apart from having interactive and user-friendly features, there are still a myriad of benefits and features offered by RuangGuru.

Recently, RuangGuru faced an issue that became a hot topic of conversation among netizens, as the company allegedly pays teachers and interns’ salaries too low.

News of RuangGuru’s alleged low pay for its apprentices and teachers began with a tweet from @NathPribady.

“RuangGuru is more like RuangMagang lol, thats why in the previous employee expense its not as huge” he tweeted.

In a tweet posted on March 13, a screenshot of the several freelance teachers stated that their income for teaching and internships at RuangGuru was very small and decreases every month.
