Adapting to New Things

The education system in Indonesia is a 12-year compulsory education. Starting from elementary school, junior high school, high school. Learning is done face to face at school. In the past, learning time was from 7 am to 1 pm. Now, the learning time starts from 7 am to 3 pm.

All learning is carried out at school face-to-face. Unfortunately, since the coronavirus emerged in Indonesia, all face-to-face learning has been replaced by online. Where all students and teachers learn from home, all use digital like social media.

Not used to learning from home yet. Stress due to multiple tasks, unstable connection, money crunch to buy internet quotas. Economically, it is not all easy to buy internet quotas in this situation. Many employees are laid off resulting in insufficient income.

Education Minister Nadiem Makarim has just provided free internet quota to all students. The assistance provided may not be sufficient to endure online learning to the end. However, at least we are helped a little by the government than not at all.

I miss meeting new friends on campus. Well, the too bad first meeting was virtual. We just need to get used to the circumstances. Get well soon the earth. Stay healthy everyone!
