rancakmedia.com – The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government plans to open schools to carry out limited face-to-face evaluations (PTM) on Monday 30 August. This method was taken following the reduction in the handling of Covid-19 in Jakarta to PPKM Level 3.

Public Relations of the DKI Jakarta Education Department, Taga Radja Gah, explained that limited face-to-face schooling will be implemented in schools that initially carried out trials some time ago.

"For face-to-face schools in DKI, the plan is that as a result of the meeting, August 30 will start to resume schools that had carried out PTM before the Covid storm," said Taga when confirmed, Wednesday (25/8).

Taga said there are around 610 schools that will conduct limited face-to-face schooling in Jakarta, starting from elementary to vocational school levels.

"There were three waves (of trials), in April there were 85 schools, in June 138 schools, initially in August 372 schools had been prepared, that's a total of 595. Added another 15 madrasa schools which have been confirmed to have passed the assessment and training. "So in total there are 610 schools," he said.

Limited Face-to-Face Learning Mechanism

According to Taga, the mechanism that will be applied is not much different from the one that was initially applied last April-June.

As a description, face-to-face school will run once a week for a certain grade level.

The duration of daily learning time is limited to between 3-4 hours, as explained by the Head of the DKI Jakarta Education Service, Nahdiana, last April.

Apart from limiting study time, the number of students participating in face-to-face learning is limited to 50% of the class capacity.

Students' study tables must be 1,5 meters apart from each other.

Meanwhile, the learning material that will be provided will only be essential material, added Nahdiana.

Limited Face-to-Face Learning Mechanism

Taga explained that the system that will be applied during face-to-face learning is not much different from what was initially implemented by several hundred schools.

“Still the pattern like yesterday, alternating, so Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Tuesday and Thursday spray disinfectant. Optimal capability 50 percent. "Then the optimal duration of study time is up to 12 o'clock," he said.

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) extended the implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) until August 30. In this implementation, the government lowered the assessment level in the Jabodetabek, Greater Bandung and Greater Surabaya areas to level 3, which was initially level 4.

For level 3 provisions, one of the things that is allowed is limited face-to-face evaluation. This is stated in Minister of Home Affairs Number 35 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Level 4, Level 3 and Level 2 Covid-19 Community Activity Restrictions in Java and Bali, which was signed by the Minister of Home Affairs M Tito Karnavian on August 23 2021.

"For educational units that carry out limited face-to-face learning, it is carried out with an optimal capacity of 50%," taken from the Minister of Home Affairs.

The Minister of Education, Culture, Research and Technology, Nadiem Makarim, initially explained that face-to-face learning must be implemented immediately so that students do not miss out on learning loss or learning.
Nadiem said that it was impossible to carry out distance learning until all students were vaccinated against Covid-19. According to him, completing vaccination of all students will take up to 2,5 years.

"We can't catch up with that. We have no choice, we have to go to school in this virus situation. "That is the reality," said Nadiem at a working meeting with Commission X DPR RI at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday (23/8).
