JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has decided to extend the distance learning policy (PJJ) to students until February 1, 2026. In addition, Pramono also invites companies to implement the work from home (WFH) policy during that period.

The decision was taken following the forecast of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) which stated that rainfall in Jakarta was still potentially high in the next few days.

Pramon said, based on the results of BMKG monitoring, the intensity of rain is expected to continue at least until early February. This condition is the main consideration of the local government in extending the policy of adjusting community activities.

"From the results of BMKG, it is likely that the rainfall will still be high until February 1. Therefore, I have decided that PJJ and people who want to work from home will be until February 1," said Pramono in Cawang, East Jakarta, Thursday, January 29.

Previously, the DKI Provincial Government had implemented the PJJ policy in state schools on January 22 to 28, 2026. The circular letter was addressed to all heads of education units in Jakarta.

In addition to extending PJJ and WFH, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has also prepared follow-up mitigation steps to anticipate the impact of prolonged rain. One of them is by extending weather modification operations (OMC) for one month starting from mid-January if the conditions on the ground require it.

Pramono said the approval for the implementation of OMC had been given as a precautionary measure, given that the potential for heavy rain was still quite large, including today.

"What is also important is that because the rainfall is still long and OMC must also be carried out, I have given approval if necessary for OMC. Because the possibility of rainfall is still high, including today," he said.

He revealed that the OMC effort had actually started early in the morning. According to Pramono, this step is expected to reduce the intensity of rain so that it does not get higher.

"Sorry, today from this morning at 05.00 we have actually done it. If not, the rainfall will be higher than now," said Pramono.
