Learning activities at SMAN 25 Jakarta on Friday (24/9/2021). SMAN 25 Jakarta is one of the schools that holds limited face-to-face learning (PTM) as of August 30, 2021. The number of students who can take part in PTM is limited to only 50 percent of the maximum capacity, while others take lessons from home.

The plan to reopen schools at the beginning of the 2021/2022 school year in July was canceled because Indonesia was suddenly hit by a second wave of Covid-19. Now, when the number of new Covid-19 cases has begun to subside, the reopening of schools gets the green light. Hope to study together again at schools is growing.

After about 1.5 years of being closed due to Covid-19, SMAN 25 Jakarta state senior high school finally held limited face-to-face learning activities for the first time on 30 Aug. Schools are allowed to open in areas where the public activity restrictions (PPKM) level has been reduced from 4 to 3.
