Press Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia After the Inspection of Mass Vaccination Program for Teachers and Educational Personnel, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 at the State Senior High School SMA Negeri 70, Jakarta Province

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Today, vaccination for teachers and education personnel has started. And, I saw that the vaccination ran well. All teachers, educators have started the process and we hope that after Jakarta Province, all provinces will carry out the vaccination. We are prioritizing teachers and educational personnel so that face-to-face learning can be started at the beginning of the second semester.

The target is by June, as many as five million teachers, educators and educational personnel, God willing, will all be vaccinated. So that when the new school year starts in July, everything will go back to normal. That’s the target.

I thank you.

Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. (SA/MMB)
