JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The Education and Culture Ministry has decided to begin the 2020/2021 academic calendar in July 2020. However, instruction will be carried out through an online platform to ensure the safety of students and teachers.
The head of the ministry’s public relations department, Evi Mulyani, said the new academic year would begin in the third week of July. However, the commencement of the new calendar year does not mean that schools will resume face-to-face instruction and teaching activities. The method of learning and teaching activities will depend on COVID-19 transmission in the community.
