JAKARTA - DKI Education Office will resume limited face-to-face learning (PTM) at SDN 05 Jagakarsa, South Jakarta. Previously, PTM at the school was stopped because students were caught wearing masks on their chins.

The Head of Public Relations of the DKI Education Office, Taga Radja Gah, said that the face-to-face school reopening at SDN 05 Jagakarsa was carried out after the guidance on the implementation of health protocols for teachers and school principals.

"As a result of our division's development with the Health Office, PTM will be temporarily suspended for one week. Hopefully, if there is no change in policy, next week PTM will be able to resume," said Taga when contacted, Tuesday, September 7.

This health protocol violation occurred after the school conducted an assessment before implementing face-to-face learning. Even though he has undergone an assessment, Taga admitted that students in the lower age class have not fully accustomed themselves to learning with the new normal.

"Actually, these are low-grade children who need to get used to the new normal. It should be understood, what is highlighted is the low class. This is actually a human thing. But we don't tolerate it either, that's why we stop the PTM first," he explained.

Taga asked all school residents to take the case of violating the health protocol at SDN 05 Jagakarsa as a lesson. Then, the education staff in each school must also always supervise their students.

"This is a warning for all schools that implement this limited PTM. Because we hope this PTM will run safely and healthily for all," said Taga.

DKI Jakarta Province has implemented limited face-to-face learning (PTM) in 610 schools for one week. However, there is one school that has been temporarily suspended from limited PTM activities, namely SDN 05 Jagakarsa.

The PTM at SDN 05 Jagakarsa was stopped due to the discovery of 2nd grade elementary school students who were not wearing masks properly. It was recorded by a cell phone, the video was shared on social media.
