The Jakarta provincial government is continuing to implement 100-percent face-to-face learning (PTM) despite the status of Jakarta’s public activity restriction (PPKM) increasing from Level 1 to Level 2.
“Face-to-face learning is still being implemented. Thus far, there has been no policy to stop it,” head of the public relations sub-division at the Jakarta Education Office, Taga Radja Gah, told ANTARA here on Tuesday.
The office will still consider and review every condition related to 100-percent PTM at schools, he stressed.
The actions that will be carried out will be based on reports from regions in Jakarta that are conducting face-to-face learning, he said.
“If we conduct a review or analysis every day, it would require continuing gathering data on the field. To this end, we have instructed headmasters to do this,” he elaborated.
“Every school that carries out face-to-face learning must report everyday conditions, such as whether there are sick people or people who do not attend learning, on the system,” he said.
Jakarta’s PPKM level has been raised based on the Home Affairs Ministerial Instruction No. 1 of 2022 on PPKM Level 3, Level 2, Level COVID-19 in Java and Bali.
The PPKM level of Jakarta, along with a number of other cities, has been raised on account of a recent increase in COVID-19 infections.
There are a number of restrictions that the Jakarta provincial government has imposed in a number of sectors in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
For learning activities, the government has allowed both face-to-face and online learning.
Meanwhile, the decision to hold 100-percent face-to-face learning refers to the Four Ministries Joint Decree (SKB) on Learning Activities during the COVID-19 Pandemic Guide.
The joint degree allows regions with Level 1 and 2 public activity restrictions (PPKM) to implement 100-percent face-to-face learning.
