Jakarta Is Ready To Do Face-to-face Lessons, School Rooms Are Sprayed With Disinfectant

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan admitted that he is ready to conduct face-to-face learning (PTM) at the opening of the school next week. As a follow-up, all school rooms in East Jakarta were sprayed with disinfectant ahead of face-to-face learning (PTM) on August 30, 2021.

Head of the East Jakarta Region II Education Unit Office, Putoyo, said the spraying of disinfectants at schools in the Region II Education Unit Office covering Kramat Jati, Pasar Rebo, Cipayung, Ciracas, and Makasar sub-districts was in collaboration with PMI and the East Jakarta Fire and Rescue Service Unit.

"Today we will disinfect independently and will coordinate with the Fire and Rescue Unit and PMI," said Putoyo in Jakarta, Saturday, August 28.

Putoyo explained that the number of schools in his area that are ready to hold PTM is 107 schools ranging from early childhood education programs (PAUD) to Senior High School (SMA) and equivalent levels.

Putoyo said his party had also coordinated with the Transportation Agency regarding school bus accommodation for students and the Satpol PP for security during the PTM process.

He said that every teacher who teaches in the classroom during PTM must have received the COVID-19 vaccination. "We have collected data for teachers and education personnel that must be vaccinated," said Putoyo.

Meanwhile, students who take PTM in class must also meet a number of requirements such as permission from their parents or guardians and have also been vaccinated at least the first dose.

"We convey to parents who have not allowed their children to be vaccinated when they are going to PTM, they are advised to study at home," said Putoyo.
