JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Education Office said there are still many parents who are worried about implementing the face-to-face learning (PTM) scheme. Thus, forbidding their children to study at school.

"That's right, (many parents) have not allowed it," said Head of Public Relations Taga Radja Gah when contacted, Sunday, August 29.

Parents who have not allowed it because of their fear of their children being exposed to COVID-19 after participating in the PTM scheme. This concern is considered normal.

"Parents are still worried that their child will be exposed to COVID-19, because they think it is still PPKM level 3, especially for parents whose (children) are in kindergarten and grade 1,2,3 who have not been vaccinated," said Taga.

Because of that, Taga also said that his party would not force parents to force it. Moreover, in this scheme the students who are included are still limited according to the rules.

"Still studying at home through online or PJJ terms. So far, their rights have been served by PJJ," said Taga.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta Education Office would implement a face-to-face learning scheme (PTM) during the PPKM level 3. This scheme will take effect on August 30, tomorrow.

There are at least 610 schools ranging from elementary to high school (SMA) and others will implement the scheme.
