Wacana Gubernur Viktor Laiskodat Sekolah Di NTT Masuk Jam 5 Pagi, Ombudsman Pertanyakan Urgensinya

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Ombudsman asked the NTT Education and Culture Office to review the discourse on policies for implementing SMA and SMK activities in Kupang starting at 05.00 WITA.

This was conveyed in connection with a viral video containing the statement by the Governor of NTT Viktor Laiskodat in a meeting with a number of high school and vocational teachers and principals in Kupang City on February 23, 2023.

"After I got a video clip containing the policy submitted by the Governor, I asked that the policy be re-discussed with the school committee and parents," he said in Kupang, NTT, Tuesday, February 28, which was confiscated by Antara.

In the video circulating, the Governor of NTT wants special school activities for SMA and SMK to start at 05.00 WITA to increase the work ethic of high school and vocational students.

The number one person in NTT wants schools starting at 05.00 WITA NTT to create excellent students and schools.

Even the Governor of NTT wants one or two schools from this area to enter 200 national superior schools.

Darius himself wondered what the reason was so that the NTT Provincial Government (Pemprov) shifted school entry hours from 07.15 WITA to 05.00 WITA.

"Of course there is an urgency why so that the policy was made from 07.15 WITA to 05.00 WITA. The urgency needs to be explained by the provincial government," he said.

Darius also said that the policy certainly had a broad impact, because there had to be another correlation with how the security forces got on the road early in the morning.

He also said that the policy would begin to be tested on the 10 schools, consisting of five high schools, namely SMA 1, SMA 2, SMA 3, SMA 5 and SMA 6, while the four SMKs consisted of SMK 1, SMK 2, SMK 3 and SMK 4 in Kupang City.

However, starting Tuesday (28/2) this morning, he continued, there were already schools that implemented the policy, namely at SMA Negeri 1 Kupang City.
