A grade 2 student at SD Pembangunan Jaya 2 Sidoarjo elementary school, Annada Sanjiwani, attends an online class using a smartphone in Sidoarjo, East Java, on Monday (4/1/2021). The high number of COVID-19 cases has forced schools to continue online learning, which was first introduced in March 2020.
BALI, KOMPAS — The provincial administrations of Bali and Yogyakarta canceled face-to-face learning that was scheduled to kick off in early January. Meanwhile, more than half of the regions in West Java province have chosen to carry out distance learning because the spread of COVID-19 is not under control and the schools’ infrastructure is not ready.
Head of the Bali Education, Youth and Sports Office, Ketut Ngurah Boy Jayawibawa, said that face-to-face learning (PTM) in Bali was originally planned to start on Monday (4/1/2021). However, given the COVID-19 situation in Bali and after receiving input from the regional education office and schools, the provincial government decided to postpone it.
