JABAR - The Bandung City Education Office (Disdik) limits the permit for routine study tour activities every year by each education unit.
The restriction was through a circular issued by the Acting Governor of West Java (Jabar), Bey Machmudin.
"We will refer to the letter from the Governor, yes, because it turns out that the letter stated that the study tour must be notified to the Disdik," said Head of Bandung City Education Office Hikmat Ginanjar in Bandung, Monday, May 13, as reported by Antara.
Hikmat conveyed that study tour activities do not need to be carried out outside the city, especially with such a long distance. In addition, his party also asked the school to ensure that transportation services that are leased are feasible for driving.
According to him, the safety of vehicles used by students is an obligation that must be taken to ensure safety throughout these activities.
"It doesn't have to go along with a distance study tour. Especially if the technical aspects of the vehicle are not good. There are several things we can do, namely schools can contact users of the service. Vehicles must be good, everything must be good. All of that must be checked," he said.
Furthermore, Hikmat said that for every school that will carry out a study tour, it is mandatory to report to the Bandung City Education Office for further study by his party.
"Even though schools are actually used to this, the governor's letter is our reference. So it will be limited," he said.
