MEDAN - Of more than 105,000 Medan City students targeted for vaccination, 80 percent of students have received the COVID-19 vaccine injection.

The achievement of this vaccination is due to the hard work of the Medan City Government which has intensively vaccinated students aged 12-18 years. Moreover, the Medan City Government is also targeting as many as 5,000 students every day to receive vaccination injections.

This was conveyed by the Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution while attending a Coordination Meeting with the Minister of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Mendikbudristek), Nadiem Makarim and the Governor of North Sumatra, Edy Rahmayadi in the T. Rizal Nurdin hall of the Governor's Office, Monday, October 25.

In front of Nadiem Makarim, Edy Rahmayadi, North Sumatra Deputy Governor Musa Rajekshah (Bang Ijeck), and other regional heads who participated virtually, Bobby Nasution said the achievement of teacher vaccination was 86 percent.

"The rest are for teachers who have not been vaccinated partly because of comorbidities and some are pregnant or are in the limit of pregnancy who should not be vaccinated," said Bobby Nasution, quoted from a written statement from the Medan Government Kominfo Service.

In the coordination meeting, Bobby Nasution also explained the teacher driving program which is an important program of the Minister of Education and Culture. Bobby Nasution explained that there were 11 PAUD teachers, 55 elementary school teachers and 40 junior high school teachers participating in the teacher mobilization program.

"All of them have participated in the teacher mover program," said Bobby Nasution.

Meanwhile, Minister of Education and Technology, Nadiem Makarim said the most important point of Limited Face-to-face Learning (PTMT) was to accelerate vaccinations and strict health protocols (prokes).

Based on all the research, Nadiem said everything shows that Indonesian children have lost one year of effective education so that it can have a permanent impact if not addressed immediately.

"If it is not addressed immediately, it will result in learning loss for students, especially for PAUD and SD children, this PTMT really needs to be done compared to the SMP and SMA levels. Because PAUD and SD are the most vulnerable to decreased learning," said Nadiem Makarim.

Therefore, Nadiem Makarim asked regional heads to prioritize vaccination for teachers. After vaccination the students aged 12-18 years.

Nadiem Makarim said in PTMT, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) would encourage random testing of teachers and students at the national level.

"We ask for support from every regional head to support this activity. This is done so that the positive rate in schools is known during PTMT," he said.

As for the teacher mobilization program, Nadiem emphasized that this program is very important because it will bring changes to other teachers.

"These driving teachers will be a priority in occupying the position of school principals or school supervisors, so those who have passed the selection of the driving teacher program will be prioritized to become school principals and supervisors in each region," said Nadiem.
