The Jakarta administration has said it will allow city schools to hold classes at full capacity starting in April as the city’s COVID-19 cases have eased, but educators’ groups say the administration should be cautious in the transition.

Jakarta Education Agency spokesperson Taga Radja Gah said on Thursday that schools at all education levels in Jakarta would hold in-person classes at full occupancy starting in April. He did not provide further details on the reopening plan.

The central government has gradually eased COVID-19 restrictions, and Jakarta’s proposed return to full-capacity in-person learning, which was previously tested in January, comes a few weeks after the city’s COVID-19 public mobility restrictions (PPKM) were lowered to level 2 of the four-tiered system.
