JAKART - Chairman of the DPD RI, La Nyalla Mahmud Mattalitti, highlighted the plan of the Ministry of Education and Culture which is ready to implement face-to-face schools during the COVID-19 pandemic for 14 Provinces.

The 14 provinces, namely West Java, DI Yogyakarta, Riau, South Sumatra, Lampung, Central Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, North Maluku, Bangka Belitung, Riau Islands and West Sulawesi.

According to him, face-to-face teaching and learning activities can be carried out in stages so that health protocols can be implemented optimally.

"We are very aware that students miss going back to school. Face-to-face learning certainly has a bond of feeling in the teaching and learning process. However, we hope that this is not done hastily," said La Nyalla in a press statement received on Saturday, March 27th.

The senator from East Java reminded him that face-to-face schools should be open 100 percent at the same time. Given that there are still cases of teaching staff and students exposed to COVID-19.

"Do it gradually. Ensure the safety of students, teachers and other school equipment before going to school face to face," said La Nyalla.

The alumnus of Universitas Brawijaya Malang also emphasized that schools are obliged to carry out face-to-face implementation procedures with predetermined stages. This is important to do to avoid exposure to the COVID-19 virus.

"We also ask local governments that will open face-to-face schools to really prepare and ensure safety. Do not let the school become a COVID-19 cluster," said the former Chairman of PSSI.
