DKI Disdik Confirms One Kindergarten Holds Face-to-Face Learning

JAKARTA - Head of Public Relations of the DKI Education Office (Disdik) Taga Radja Gah admitted that there was one kindergarten school that held face-to-face schools during Emergency PPKM or PPKM Level 4. The school is located in Cipayung, East Jakarta.

This was discovered after the Education Office conducted a cross-check with various sources. Previously, this information was initially disclosed by LaproCovid19 volunteers.

"One who conducts face-to-face meetings is Raudatul Atfhal (RA) Al Firdaus, at the kindergarten level. The face-to-face learning will be held from July 16 to 26," Taga said when confirmed, Wednesday, August 4.

Taga said, initially there were parties who reported to LaporCovid19 that there was a face-to-face learning organization at RA Al Firdaus. Taga admitted that he did not know who reported it, but Disdik appreciated the report.

"Maybe the complainant is worried that there will be a new (COVID-19) cluster. So we appreciate it if people report it. Not because they don't like it, but because they love the children," he said.

After it was confirmed that there was face-to-face learning there, Taga said officers from the DKI Education Office and RA supervision officers at the DKI Jakarta Regional Office (Kanwil) visited the school and immediately took action.

"The school has been dealt with and investigated by the RA supervisor and the school admits a mistake. They do not continue the face-to-face learning," he explained.

Furthermore, Taga said that his party also carried out cross-checks to four other schools reported by LaporCovid19. However, Taga said that the four schools did not hold face-to-face schools.

"It turned out that the four schools did not meet face-to-face but only had several face-to-face teacher meetings. It turned out that there was a communication error that it was not face-to-face, but a face-to-face teacher council meeting attended by several people," he said.

Previously, the LaporCovid-19 community coalition recorded that 29 schools in Indonesia were determined to study face-to-face during July. The details are as follows:- Bogor 6 schools- Bandung 5 schools- Jakarta 5 schools- Bekasi 2 schools- Tangerang 2 schools- Sumedang 1 school- Depok 1 school- Banyumas 1 school- Makassar 1 school- Cimahi 1 school- Bali 1 school- Banten 1 school- Banjarmasin 1 school
