TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta provincial government is still holding face-to-face learning or PTM at a full capacity amid the threat of the COVID-19 third wave. A spokesman for the city’s education agency Taga Radja Gah said the central government has not yet issued orders to close school classrooms.
Taga said that however, the agency applied technical guidance based on the joint decree of four ministers and the agency head No. 1363 of 2021 concerning the PTM in accordance with the pandemic situation in the capital.
“In the technical guidelines, it is explained that if Jakarta enters PPKM Level 3, the PTM scenario will be changed to the same as in 2021,” he told Tempo, Tuesday, Jan. 11.
The technical guidelines also noted that students would undergo blended learning, which is attending classrooms only on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and the classes’ capacity is limited to 50 percent while other students study online. Additionally, the learning time was reduced to only four hours.
“Under PPKM Level 4, according to technical guidelines and the Ministerial Decree, all learning activities will be held online,” said Taga.
As for now, Taga explained that since PPKM Level 2 is still in place in Jakarta, students were allowed to visit schools and the face-to-face learning remained at full capacity in line with the technical guidelines.
