"All supporting facilities have been prepared, starting from portable sinks, fitting room, soap, spraying disinfectant before and after the learning process. So far it is good, we get positive enthusiasm from students," he expressed, on the sidelines of his observation, as quoted by Jakarta PPID's press release.

As the initial stage, there were 100 schools (SD/MI, SMP/MTs, SMA/SMK/MA, and PKBM/LKP) that had met the criteria for further training. After undergoing training two weeks, we collected 85 schools.

He also explained that it was deliberately done in accordance with the development of the handling of the pandemic and really needs the support of all related parties, especially support from parents, thus it could run better and be expanded in the future. In the mixed learning system, parents still had the right to determine, whether the child was given permission to study at school or study from home.

"Each classroom mustn't exceed 50 percent. All are in accordance with the 3M health protocol. I had time to interact with students and teachers, Alhamdulillah they were happy. Especially that practice required attendance at school. In one or two months, we will decide whether it is continuing or not. Of course, all depends on the education office and the governor," he explained.

Here are several important points in the implementation of face-to-face learning:

• Face-to-face learning takes 1 day in 1 week for 1 class

• Not more than 50% and distance between students about 1.5 meters

• Study Duration between 3-4 hours in one day

• Essential materials delivered in face-to-face learning

• Schools that have fulfilled mixed learning training

• Teachers have received vaccine

As for the information, there are 20 study groups at SMKN 2 Jakarta. From that number, only 5 study groups totaling 45 students in grade XII attended face-to-face learning. The subjects taught are only those that are deemed important and need further study.

In the observation, there are also Education Agency Head, Nahdiana; SMK Division Head, Diding Wahyudin; Gambir Sub-district, Fauzi; Education Agency Acting Vice Head, Slamet; Gambir Executing Unit Head, Imanita; and Middle Education JP1 Division Head, Suharto.
