JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The Education and Culture Ministry has reaffirmed that reopening the nation’s schools will depend on the recommendations of the national Covid-19 task force, in keeping with the principle that the safety and health of children remains the top priorities.
“[We will] wait for the national Covid-19 task force to make a decision on the scenario for reopening schools.
