JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives from the Gerindra faction, Fadli Zon, considered the attitude of the Java-Bali PPKM Coordinator Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan to reject the proposal of DKI Governor Anies Baswedan to stop face-to-face learning (PTM) 100 percent in Jakarta.
According to Fadli, PTM in schools should have been stopped considering the increasing number of COVID-19 cases.
"This is strange. When COVID-19 is high, PTM should be temporarily stopped. If it is sloping, PTM can be continued," said Fadli Zon in a statement to reporters, Friday, February 4.
The Deputy Chairperson of Gerindra also questioned who would be responsible if many students were exposed to COVID.
"Who is responsible if students in DKI Jakarta are exposed to COVID due to forced PTM?," he asked.
Fadli then asked Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan to use common sense. Because according to him, the current PTM seems forced.
"Let's use common sense Mr. LBP," he said.
Previously, the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment who is also the Coordinator of the Java-Bali PPKM Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan rejected the DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan's request to temporarily stop the face-to-face learning process (PTM) in schools.
Luhut spokesman Jodi Mahardi said the central government could not agree to Anies' request to stop PTM even if it was only for a month. equally important," said Jodi, Thursday, February 3. Therefore, the central government still requires all regions in PPKM Level 2 to continue to hold PTM. However, the government now allows the number of students to be reduced, from 100 percent to 50 percent previously. In addition, parents are also given the freedom to choose. "Parents may choose their children to join limited PTM or take distance learning," he said. Jodi said that the central government in principle supports all local government initiatives in reducing cases. However, consistency and a non-discriminatory approach need to be a common ground. "We hope that the local government can jointly keep our children from doing activities outside of school that pose a high risk of COVID-19 transmission," he said.
