SOLO - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo ensured that the provisions for implementing learning in each region did not have to be uniform. He asked that the provisions for Face-to-face Learning (PTM) or Distance Learning (PJJ) be adjusted to the policies and evaluation results in each district/city.

"We adjust the districts/cities. If one district/city decides that it must be evaluated, all levels of education must follow. So it doesn't have to be uniform," said Ganjar at the Alila Hotel, Surakarta, Saturday, February 5.

This also applies to the high schools (SMA)/vocational schools (SMK) level whose authority lies with the Central Java Provincial Government. According to Ganjar, the adjustment is so that there are no policy conflicts at the government level. For example, as has been done by the Surakarta City Government and Semarang City Government.

"When Solo and Semarang do PJJ, we will follow. So that the levels of each policy do not conflict, we ask to follow each district/city," he said.

To note, the Semarang City Government recently issued a policy on face-to-face learning (PTM) in Semarang City to be suspended for two weeks. The student learning process was again changed to distance learning (PJJ). The policy is effective starting Monday (7/2) or in conjunction with the implementation of Level 2 PPKM Level in Semarang City.

Meanwhile, the Surakarta City Government has temporarily closed PTMs in dozens of schools because there were students and teachers who were exposed to COVID-19. Mayor of Surakarta, Gibran Rakabuming Raka will also evaluate PTM in his area, including following the policy of implementing 50 percent PTM.
