JATENG - Floods in Kudus Regency, Central Java (Central Java) are widespread. As a result, many students fled with their families.

The Youth and Sports Education Office (Dindikpora) of Kudus Regency also invited schools affected by the flood to hold online learning.

"Schools that really cannot hold face-to-face learning, please apply for a permit to hold online learning," said Head of the Basic Education Division of Dindikpora Kudus, Anggun Nugroho in Kudus, Central Java, Monday, January 2, as reported by Antara.

He admitted that conditions in the field were not only related to flooded schools, but also flooded houses and some could not go to school because access was flooded.

Meanwhile, there are 14 elementary schools (SD) that are spread across four sub-districts, namely Jati District there are five elementary schools, Kaliwungu District there are two elementary schools, and Mejobo District there are two elementary schools and Undaan District there are four elementary schools.

Although not affected by the flood, there are also elementary schools that are used as refugee camps such as SD 1 Temus, Mejobo District. However, the teaching and learning process can still be carried out.

"There are also students who cannot go to school because their houses are flooded, even though their schools are safe from flooding," he said.

This, he said, was experienced by students from SD 3 Bulangcangkring Kudus. Meanwhile, the students from Dukuh Gadu could not go to school because the access road was flooded.

Meanwhile, schools were damaged by strong winds experienced by SD Ploso 2, including SD 3 Megawon, the ceiling also collapsed.

Head of SD Negeri 3 Jati Wetan Ahmad Aliek Mochtar said the flood had also inundated schools since Friday, December 30. As a result, students who should have entered school from the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year holidays today, Monday, January 2, have not been able to do their usual learning activities.

For this reason, he said, his party coordinated with the sub-district education area coordinator. Then it is recommended to apply for an online learning permit.

"In total there are 51 students from grade 1-6 who do not allow coming to school to take part in learning because their schools are flooded," he said.

In addition, he said, there were also the families of students who fled because their houses were also inundated. Meanwhile, teachers still come to school to do attendance because they use fingerprint.
