DPPAD Ajak Orang Tua Tak Alergi Anak Belajar Online

Dinas Pendidikan, Perpustakaan dan Arsip Daerah (DPPAD) Papua mengajak para orang tua murid mulai membiasakan diri dengan proses belajar online yang saat ini tengah digalakkan pihak sekolah untuk mencegah penularan COVID-19.

Sekretaris Dinas Pendidikan Provinsi Papua, Protasius Lobya mengakui ada kekurangan dari sistem pembelajaran tersebut.

Namun demikian, dia berharap para orang tua lebih mementingkan kondisi fisik dan peningkatan imun anak di rumah, ketimbang mempermasalahkan hal yang berpotensi menularkan virus corona.

Hal itu disampaikan Protasius di Jayapura, dalam satu kesempatan, Selasa (29/6/2021) petang.

Masih dikatakan dia, tahun ajaran baru 2021/2022 akan berlangsung secara serentak dan dimulai pada 12 Juli mendatang.

Sementara rencana Kegiatan Belajar Mengajar (KBM) tatap muka di Kota Jayapura, tetap menunggu keputusan kepala daerah setempat, meski sebagian besar sekolah maupun tenaga pengajar telah menyatakan kesiapan.

“Intinya keputusan walikota untuk belajar online maupun tatap muka, saya pikir semua sudah siap," kata ia.

Oleh karenanya, dia mengimbau semua pihak untuk taat pada putusan kepala daerah terkait kegiatan belajar mengajar.  Sebab jangan sampai proses belajar tatap muka, menjadi pintu masuk penularan corona di Papua.

Guru Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) Negeri 3, Constantinus Oei, berpendapat beda. Dimana sistem KBM tatap muka menurut dia, mesti segera diterapkan. Sebab belajar secara online, tidak bisa secara maksimal mengkoreksi kesalahan murid.

“Sekolah sudah punya strategi untuk bagaimana tatap muka bisa berjalan, minimal 1 jam saja. Memang penyebaran covid-19 masih terjadi di Papua, tapi tatap muka cukup penting untuk dilakukan,” tegasnya.

Department of Education, Library and Regional Archives (DPPAD) invites parents to get used to the online learning process that is currently being encouraged by the school to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.

Secretary of the Education Department of Papua, Protasius Lobya admitted that there are shortcomings of the learning system.

Nevertheless, he hopes that parents are more concerned about the physical condition and improved immune system of children at home, rather than about potentially transmitting coronavirus.

This was conveyed by Protasius in Jayapura, Tuesday (6/29/2021) evening.

Still he said, the new school year 2021/2022 will take place simultaneously and start on July 12.

Meanwhile, the plan of face-to-face Teaching and Learning Activities (KBM) in Jayapura City, is still awaiting the decision of the local head, although most schools and teachers have expressed readiness.

"The bottom line is the mayor's decision to study online as well as face-to-face, I think it's all ready," he said.

Therefore, he urged all parties to obey the decision of the regional head related to teaching and learning activities. Because do not let the process of learning face-to-face become the entrance of corona transmission in Papua.

One of the teachers of SMK 3, Constantinus Oei, thinks differently. The face-to-face learning process must be implemented immediately because online learning cannot maximally correct the mistakes of students.

"The school already has a strategy for how face-to-face can run, at least 1 hour only. Indeed, the spread of covid-19 is still happening in Papua, but face-to-face is quite important to do," he said.
