MEDAN - Around 800 students were recorded as no longer attending school when face-to-face learning (PTM) was held in a number of areas in North Sumatra.

"Face-to-face schooling has started but many students do not attend," said Head of the North Sumatra Province Education Office, Syaifuddin, Tuesday, September 28.

These hundreds of students no longer attend school for various reasons, including because they are already married. There are also students called Kadisdik who are already working.

"Some may take a long vacation, some we find because they are already working. And many are married. There are around 800 people for these three reasons," he continued.

In implementing face-to-face learning during this pandemic, Syaifuddin said his party was very careful in its implementation. Education authorities (Disdik) do not want new clusters to appear for the spread of COVID-19.

Therefore, several policies have been formulated in the instructions of the Governor of North Sumatra regarding the rules in PTM.

"In addition to strict health protocols, school canteens cannot be opened yet. We also continue to carry out vaccinations for teachers and students," he said.
