Three Regions in West Sumatra Extend PJJ Due to Haze

Under the provisions in force in Padang City, school principals, teachers and education staff are still required to be present at school. They carry out distance learning activities from their respective educational units according to the established mechanisms.

The Padang City Government also asks parents to accompany and supervise children during study time. Students are advised to stay at home and reduce outdoor activities. If you have to leave the house, children are advised to wear masks.

Meanwhile, in Agam Regency, educators and education staff are encouraged to carry out PJJ from their respective residences. They are still responsible for ensuring the learning process, monitoring student progress, and evaluating learning outcomes go well.

The extension of PJJ in these three areas is an anticipatory step amidst unfavorable air conditions. Through this policy, it is hoped that students' exposure to haze can be reduced without neglecting the continuity of the educational process.
