JAKARTA - Secretary-General of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) Suharti, said parents were still given the freedom to choose the best learning method for their children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Parents are still given the freedom to choose (learning methods) for their children," said Suharti when contacted in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Thursday, January 27.
He gave an example of how the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government also gives parents a choice, whether their children take 100 percent face-to-face learning (PTM) at school or take distance learning at home.
In an upload to the DKI Jakarta Education Office's Instagram account on January 2, 2022, it was explained that parents can provide information to schools if they want their children to take distance learning. Schools will continue to serve by providing online learning.

The increasing spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in DKI Jakarta has made a number of parents worried about letting their children take part in PTM 100 percent at school.
A student's parent, Rika Aulia, suggested that learning be done at home for the time being. The reason is that at least 90 schools in DKI Jakarta have stopped PTM 100 percent because of the discovery of COVID-19 cases in those schools.
"For the time being, it is better to study at home first, until the conditions for the spread of COVID-19 in Jakarta subside," said Rika.
