PEKANBARU - The Pekanbaru City Education Office has suspended face-to-face learning activities at two private schools that violate health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We have stopped the two private schools from having face-to-face learning until a certain time limit," said Pekanbaru City Education and Education Head Ismardi Ilyas in Pekanbaru, as reported by Antara, Friday, October 22.
Ismardi Ilyas said the two schools were located on Jalan Air Hitam, Binawidya District and the other in Simpang Tiga, Bukit Raya District.
"They seem to ignore the prokes, then we stop. We reprimand the school principal, call the head of the foundation and are asked to make a statement," he said.
From the results of team supervision in the field, during the face-to-face learning process, students are free to roam around the school. Such conditions are feared to endanger the safety of students considering that Pekanbaru City is still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to him, this violates the 5M process, which includes two points of keeping a distance and avoiding crowds.
"So we urge this to be a lesson for other schools. If we find in the field there are students wandering around the school, they will immediately stop studying," he said.
He asked all schools to remain disciplined in the process of obeying our mutual agreement in face-to-face learning, because this is to prevent the emergence of new clusters of COVID-19 in schools.
"Hopefully this COVID-19 pandemic will pass soon, let's stay disciplined 5 M, namely wearing masks, washing hands, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds and preventing interaction mobility," he said.
Although he admitted that during the face-to-face learning process starting in the last two months, no students had been exposed or confirmed to COVID-19, but no one should ignore the prokes.
"Alhamdulillah, it has been almost two months since our school has been open and there are no positive confirmed students," he said.
He said that every day Disdik dispatched a team to supervise the implementation of health care programs in schools.
"But considering that supervisors are also limited to supervising around 500 more schools, residents are asked to report any violations," he said.
