Regional administrations were called on to support and not hinder the school reopenings. However, everything must be supervised and evaluated to prevent the appearance of Covid-19 clusters at schools.

All standard operating procedures and the rules of limited in-person learning are clear, so schools simply need to follow them.

Hybrid learning systems require teachers to be able to teach students at school and online — sometimes at the same time. Schools are working on various ways to implement the strategy.

The safety and health of students, teachers and staff must also be prioritized. Schools must ensure that they can reopen in a safe manner.

Schools can be reopened as long as they meet a number of requirements. In addition to a low risk of Covid-19 transmission, it must be ensured that there is a high vaccination rate and a health protocol is implemented.

In the midst of all the limitations caused by the pandemic, students have also continued their studies to pursue their dreams and aspirations.

In Jakarta, only 20-30 percent of students are participating in the limited face-to-face learning trial.

The schools should respect parents’ decisions and provide online learning options for those who do not attend the face-to-face learning activities.
