PEKALONGAN - The Minister of Basic and Secondary Education (Mendikdasmen) Abdul Mu'ti emphasized that the Work From Home (working from home) policy was not due to the crisis but due to considerations for frugal living.

"According to the President's instructions, (the WFH policy) is to make a habit of frugal living, good habits so that all energy sources owned can be used for the best things," he said after the Halal Bihalal Muhammadiyah Pekalongan Regency event, Friday.

According to him, work from home does not apply to school education institutions so that learning activities will still take place face to face.

"So the school will still be in as usual, it will still be in as it is now. Because the school is in, the teachers will still be in," he said.

He said the work from home policy applied to offices such as the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education as of Friday.

"We will emphasize the difference between work from home, work from anywhere (WFA). WFA, employees can be anywhere scattered but work from home is at home so when called for a meeting, they can meet because their position is not far from the office," he said.

In addition, the policy of working from home, he said, does not mean that they are free to work but still have the main tasks and functions set by the ministry.

"So there are reporting mechanisms and types of work according to the work of their respective tupoksi," he said.
