About 77 percent of the students polled said their teachers had assigned
them more homework than usual with unreasonably tight deadlines,
resulting in learning fatigue.
She said that many teachers failed to accommodate students who were
unable to afford the electronics or reliable internet connections that were
essential for remote learning.
“About 42 percent of students said they [could not afford] internet
packages, making it difficult for them to make video calls,” Retno said,
adding that the current learning methods effectively discriminated
against students from low-income households.
The KPAI called on the Education Ministry and the Religious Affairs
Ministry to formulate an “emergency curriculum” in an effort to improve
education during the ongoing public health crisis.
The organization said that the emergency curriculum should consist only
of core lessons and should do away with complex subjects that required
direct assistance from teachers.
