Minister of Education and Culture Nadiem Makarim (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Minister of Education and Culture Nadiem Makarim reminded again that limited face-to-face learning should be opened from now on. That way, the target of face-to-face schools for all of Indonesia has been achieved in July.

"This (face-to-face school. Ed) is not implemented in July 2021, I have to correct it. It is implemented from now on. The target is that all schools have face-to-face meetings in July for the school year," Nadiem explained in a virtual dialogue broadcast on Youtube of the COVID-Handling Committee. 19 and the National Economic Recovery (KPC-PEN), Thursday, April 1.

Nadiem straightens public opinion about the face-to-face school. Because he said, many parties considered face-to-face schools to be opened starting in July. In fact, in the Joint Decree (SKB) four ministers have recommended that they open face-to-face schools from now on.

"Face-to-face meetings must have started. So in July the target is completed. All schools have conducted face-to-face meetings. So, this is clarified," he said.

Nadiem explained, for schools where teachers, teachers, and other educators who have been vaccinated must immediately start a limited face-to-face school. However, the learning system is completely left to the school.

Parents of students, he continued, were still given the choice of whether to attend face-to-face school or not.

"Schools whose teachers have been vaccinated are obliged to immediately start limited face-to-face meetings. Want it twice a week, three times a week, with a rotation system, please," he explained.

Nadiem admitted that he needed to clarify the matter of this policy because he was worried that teaching staff who had been vaccinated would still have to wait until July to start face-to-face learning.

"So don't everyone wait. Those who have been vaccinated wait until July (just starting face-to-face). That's not it. (In) the SKB (face-to-face school) has started from now on," he said.
