MEDAN - Minister of Basic and Secondary Education (Mendikdasmen) Abdul Mu'ti ensures that learning activities in areas affected by floods and landslides in North Sumatra (North Sumatra) will resume from January 5, 2026.
This certainty was conveyed by Abdul Mu'ti when attending the Inauguration of Education Unit Revitalization Assistance in Medan City, Sunday, January 4. He said that most of the schools affected by the disaster were ready to hold learning.
"Regarding the disaster that occurred in North Sumatra, the number of affected schools was recorded at 1,215. Of that number, 1,157 schools or about 95.23 percent are ready to operate for learning activities on January 5," said Abdul Mu'ti.
He detailed that there were still a number of schools undergoing the recovery phase. A total of 19 schools or about 1.6 percent will carry out learning using emergency tents, while another 29 schools or about 2.4 percent are still in the process of cleaning after floods and landslides.
"God willing, on January 5 tomorrow, these schools can be used as they should," he said.
For educational units that have not fully recovered, the Ministry of Education and Culture has prepared special policies so that the learning and assessment process can continue. The emergency curriculum is adapted and flexible by adjusting the conditions in the field, without reducing the learning rights of students.
