JAKARTA - Startup company PT Pahami Cipta Edukasi (Pahamify) is said to continue to support the government's steps to organize distance education or PJJ to suppress the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This was conveyed by Pahamify's Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mohammad Ikhsan. According to him, virtual education can be packaged learning with fun and interesting concepts so that it continues to foster student interest in learning.

"The pandemic has also affected the implementation of education in Indonesia. Both students, parents, and teachers must adapt to new conditions," he said in an official statement, Wednesday, August 18.

Ikhsan added, as a digital-based company, his party provides more than 20,000 learning content as a business development strategy. This strategy is considered to have been able to bring benefits with the number of application downloaders reaching more than 1 million times.

"For that, the development of the world of education is not only the task of schools and the government, but also other education stakeholders, including us as a company," he said.

Apart from being a media for seeking benefits, the field of education called Ikhsan is also another way to contribute socially through the development of human resources (HR).

"Therefore, we are determined to continue to assist students, parents, and teachers in carrying out the function of education in Indonesia," he said.

On the same occasion, education and children observer Seto Mulyadi revealed that the distance education system currently implemented by the government is very different from the conventional system that had been running before the pandemic. He considered that the key to the success of the PJJ scheme was in the ability to present material that could make it easier for children to understand the lesson.

“It must be admitted that this is not an easy time for children, parents and schools. However, children's interest can be helped through creative and friendly packaging of learning materials," explained the man who is familiarly called Kak Seto.

For information, based on a report from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, currently there are around 13 percent of Indonesian children who are depressed because of situations that are full of limitations.
