JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Education and Culture Minister Nadiem Makarim has fended off criticism over the government's decision to allow the reopening of more schools amid the pandemic, defending the policy as a difficult but necessary trade-off to maintain students' spirit of learning in a time of crisis.
“You can consider [the decision] bold in some aspects, but on the other hand, you can also see that we’re a little late, ” Nadiem said on Wednesday (Aug 12) during the webinar “Educating the Nation”, which is part of The Jakarta Post’s webinar series “Jakpost Up Close”.
