Students of different grades wear masks and maintain physical distance as study together in a “pod” on Friday (28/8/2020), using the free wifi facility at the RW 05 community unit hall in West Kuningan, South Jakarta. The subdistrict offices provided free internet access to make it easier for the students to follow the online distance learning (PJJ) education policy during the Covid-19 health crisis.

A student in Gowa, South Sulawesi, committed suicide. Previously, a student in Banten died after being abused by their parents because of difficulties studying at home.

Even though the causes of the two events could be multifactorial, it must be acknowledged that distance learning (PJJ) during the Covid-19 pandemic has placed psychological pressure on students, parents and teachers. Many people are still not ready for PJJ, even after seven months.
