SOLO - The Solo City Government, Central Java, opened a mix of offline and online teaching and learning activities, after face-to-face learning was stopped this past week.

"This has started to be a hybrid (offline and online mix, ed.), more PTM (Face-to-Face Learning)," said Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka in Solo as reported by Antara, Monday, February 14.

Gibran said learning that applies the mixed system is carried out at all levels, including SMA/SMK with a capacity of 50 percent. Accommodating parents' objections about the face-to-face learning policy, the City Government also provides distance learning (PJJ).

Based on data from the City Government, as many as 46 SMP did PTM and 27 others PJJ. A total of 396 PAUD and TK, while the other eight PJJ. A total of 27 elementary schools do PJJ, while the other 200 PTM and mix.

His party will conduct an evaluation after the PTM is carried out for the next one week.

Gibran hopes that there will be no more COVID-19 cases in schools.

"We should have extended it, preferring 'hybrid' like this. Surveillance should also run again," he said.

Related to the possibility of new cases appearing after the implementation of surveillance or observation in schools, he said, it is a risk that must be borne in the hope that there will be immediate treatment. "With all the risks, we have to go through it," he said.
