JAYAPURA - The Papua Library and Archives Education Office (DPPAD) confirmed that it has issued a face-to-face learning for high school level.

However, for schools with a large number of students, they are asked to impose a shifting or rotating system, to avoid the transmission of COVID-19.

"For schools with more than 20 students, such as SMA 2 Jayapura, SMA 1 or SMA 4 Jayapura. Now they must be made a rotating system for face-to-face," said Head of DPPAD of Papua, Protasius Lobya, in Jayapura on Thursday.

While it is allowed to impose face-to-face learning.

He continued, the school must get a letter of recommendation from the local government and the COVID-19 Task Force.

"This means that if it has not been allowed to be opened, do not open it."

"Then the opening of the school must also get approval or agreement from parents. If parents do not agree then the school must reorganize the learning. Indeed, we want the quality of education to be good but we do not want children to be victims," he said.

While alluded to the existence of teachers who have not been vaccinated, Protasius did not dispute.

He said, it is because there are enough teachers who have congenital diseases so that they cannot be vaccinated. ***
