The study duration is limited to 3 to 4 hours per day. Limited learning materials, namely only essential materials delivered in face-to-face learning.

Several notes have caught the attention of the DKI Education Office. Public Relations of the DKI Jakarta Education Agency, Taga Radja Gah, still have teachers and students wearing masks inappropriately.

In addition, there are still students who gather to gather with their friends. However, when students begin to crowd, the health protocol supervisor will immediately ask the students to disperse.

"After the lesson, there was still a small crowd. The children wanted to chat with their friends. Such a phenomenon occurred in several schools, but the crowds quickly disrupted", said Taga on Thursday, April 29.

The good news is, Taga said that until now there have been no positive confirmation cases for students, teachers, and education personnel at schools that have implemented face-to-face learning.

"During the trial, there was no confirmed positive case of COVID-19. Then there was no rejection from the surrounding environment, both from the village head and the surrounding community," he explained.
