Authorities in Jakarta and Palembang, South Sumatra, are still considering the school reopening plan.
Jakarta deputy governor Ahmad Riza Patria said on Monday that the Jakarta administration was still studying the plan to avoid making any mistakes,
antaranews.com reported.
“The Jakarta administration has yet to decide to reopen schools. We are still studying the plan,” he said.
Riza said the administration did not want the school reopening to trigger new cases, as had happened in other countries.
Therefore, the Jakarta administration was preparing supporting facilities for online education, such as a free internet service called JAK Wifi that could be accessed by all residents of Jakarta.
