Taga explained that to stop PTM 100 percent, his party referred to the Joint Decree (SKB) of the 4 Ministers. He said that 100 percent PTM could only be terminated if the PPKM Jakarta status changed to level 4.

"To reduce or stop it, we basically use a 4 Ministerial Decree. This means that when PPKM goes up to Level 3, there will be a change in PTM, there are 50 percent 4 hours of learning and then learning like that," he said.
