| Summary: | This report reflects on the Indonesian
school system's response to the COVID-19 (coronavirus)
pandemic, assesses the influences of these policies on
children in Indonesia, and discusses lessons learned. It
further synthesizes these lessons into policy
recommendations that might guide the Ministry of Education,
Culture, Research and Technology (MoECRT) to recover and to
strengthen the system. For over a year, the Government of
Indonesia (GoI) has responded to the evolving situation
promptly, with policy guidance and other support efforts, to
keep 60 million children engaged in learning. While these
efforts are lauded, the experiences of students, teachers,
and parents shared here reflect the challenges that the
pandemic, and consequent Learning from Home (LFH) have
presented. By reviewing the experiences of students,
teachers, and parents identified through research studies
conducted during 2020, the report proposes four broad policy
areas that need attention; i) Refocusing effort on learning,
ii) Supporting learning recovery, iii) Providing training,
support, and guidance to teachers, parents, and school
principals, and iv) Strengthening relations between schools
and their communities. |
