JAKARTA - The Muhammadiyah Central Executive asked the Government to evaluate the 100% Face-to-Face Learning (PTM) policy in schools. Considering that currently, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in the country is increasing.

"The 100 percent PTM policy needs to be evaluated", said General Secretary of Muhammadiyah, Abdul Mu'ti in Jakarta, Thursday, February 3.

Even so, Mu'ti said, 100 percent evaluation of PTM does not need to be carried out in all regions. According to him, for areas that are still in the green or safe zone, PTM activities will still be carried out with strict procedures.

"Although not in all areas. In safe areas, PTM is still carried out by complying with health protocols", he explained.

On the other hand, Mu'ti reminded all parties to be more alert to the spread of the new variant of COVID-19. Moreover, the government has predicted the peak of cases will be in the middle of this month.

"All parties must be more alert to the spread of the Omicron virus which is increasingly widespread. The pandemic is not over", he urged.

It is known that the central government has not taken a stand regarding the 100 percent PTM policy which is still being implemented.

Meanwhile, several regions have decided to stop PTM. Especially in Jakarta, DKI Governor Anies Baswedan has also proposed to the center to stop PTM for a month until the COVID-19 condition begins to improve.
