The coordination meeting aims to ensure that learning policies during the Covid-19 pandemic are well carried out in the regions.
“The principle of educational policy during the Covid-19 pandemic is to prioritize the health and safety of students, educators, educational personnel, families and society in general, and consider the growth and development of students and psychosocial conditions in a effort to comply with educational services during the Covid-19 pandemic. “Nobody said, as quoted by the official statement, on Friday (9/4/2020).
The government has issued several policies and initiatives to deal with learning limitations during the Covid-19 pandemic, such as the Review of the Joint Decree (SKB) of the Four Ministers issued on August 7, 2020, to adjust learning policies in the current era of the pandemic.
In addition, schools have the flexibility to choose a curriculum that is tailored to the learning needs of students during a pandemic, as stipulated in the Decree of the Ministry of Education and Culture on curricula during an emergency.
“The Ministry of Education and Culture has also taken the initiative to help overcome the obstacles that teachers, parents and children face during distance education,” said Nadiem.
The government makes adjustments related to the implementation of apprenticeships in the yellow and green zones to carry out face-to-face learning through the implementation of very strict health protocols.
The areas in the orange and red zones are prohibited from performing face-to-face learning in educational units and continuing to learn from home (BDR).
“Face-to-face learning in schools in the yellow and green zones is allowed, but not mandatory,” said Nadiem.
The stages of face-to-face learning for the educational units of the green zone and the yellow zone in the revised SKB of the Four Ministers are carried out simultaneously at the primary and secondary education levels taking into account health risks that do not differ by age groups at the two levels. Meanwhile, PAUD can begin face-to-face learning no later than two months after primary and secondary education.
In addition, taking into account that practical learning is a core skill of SMK, the implementation of practical learning is allowed for the students of the Professional School in all areas, forcing the implementation of strict health protocols. The assessment will always be done to prioritize health and safety, ”said Nadiem.
The Education Office, the Provincial or District / Municipal Health Service, together with the Head of the Education Unit, will continue to coordinate with the working group to accelerate the management of Covid-19 to monitor the level of risk of Covid-19 in the regions. If conditions are indicated as unsafe, there are confirmed positive cases of Covid-19. 19, or the risk level of the area changes to orange or red, the educational unit must be closed again. “
In order for the learning policy during the Covid-19 pandemic to be carried out well in the regions, the Interior Minister appealed to local governments to ensure that schools that have face-to-face learning (PTM) in the red zone and orange zone re-learn from home.
For the green and yellow zones, Tito asked local governments to prepare funds to help schools comply with the health protocols listed on the learning readiness checklist and monitor their implementation.
On that occasion, Tito also called on local governments to understand that emergency curricula and learning modules are available and can be used, accelerate population tests in the regions to meet the minimum number of tests (1 person per 1,000 inhabitants per week for all regions) for the most accurate zoning risk map.
“I ask the regional government to remind schools to make sure students’ cell phone numbers are completed in dapodik to receive assistance in providing fees,” said Tito.
The central government has allocated support and assistance, while local governments are responsible for meeting school needs. Local governments can help fund meeting school needs for face-to-face learning, such as sanitation and hygiene facilities, temperature gauges for weapons, and masks.
Local governments are encouraged to ensure and monitor the implementation of SKB in schools, “said Tito.
