For ASN teachers who are certified are Rp. 750 thousand and ASN teachers who are not certified are Rp. 550 thousand.
However, some teachers at Barru complained about the donation.
That's because the number charged is considered very high.
Barru PGRI Secretary, Irham Jalil gave an explanation related to the contribution of the Porseni.
He said, the numberor nominal contribution determined by PGRI Barru had become a joint agreement.
Which was decided through a socialization activity in the auditorium of the Barru education office, Friday (7/7/2019).

The allotment of donations will later be used for the entire cost of the implementation of the PGRI Porseni which will be held next November in Barru.
Not only that, donations will also be used for PGRI Barru contingents who competed during Porseni.
"The costs borne for the contingent are operational, such as training costs, food, costumes," he said.

However, the amount of allowance given has not been determined.
Because PGRI Barru will condition the funds used during the implementation of the PGRI Porseni later.
"What is certain is that we will also prepare the contingent's pocket. But the figure cannot be determined yet, because it is conditioned with existing funds," he said.

Because, from the donated money put in, Rp 250 thousand of them will be used by the teacher and the school principal himself.
"Rp. 250,000 will return to those who donate. We have costumes that are distributed at that price," he said.
It is not difficult according to Irham Jalil, because PGRI Barru does not ask teachers to pay donations simultaneously.
However, the contribution can be paid in installments until the figures specified in the category are sufficient.
"So the payment does not have to be all direct. It can be paid in installments," he added.
Irham Jalil also explained that the fees charged to the teachers were nothing but to succeed and enliven the PGRI Porseni event which was centered at Barru.
"Obviously Barru who was appointed as the host of the South Sulawesi PGRI Porseni, we want to be lively and run successfully by achieving training. So teachers and principals are asked to help in meeting the needs of this activity," he added.
