Abstract

The pandemic will end soon, yet health protocols are still important today. Education is all done online to comply with regulations and to stop spreading the virus. In new normal era, schools have begun to allow their students to enter by limiting the presence and dividing the schedule. Then, is face-to-face learning really safe? What are the regulations of limited face-to-face learning? How do students, teachers, and parents overcome transition from online learning to face-to-face learning? This paper will answer that question by examining the provisions of face-to-face Learning, risks of implementation of face-to-face learning, and the regulations of limited face-to-face learning. Analysis through holistic perspectives by combining education, health, social, and individual factors is also asserted to show importance of substantive policy. Meanwhile, the policy seems to be in trial and error condition as any new cluster case of COVID-19 in a new normal school will affect the whole process. In conclusion, the transition is well prepared seen from health and other factors. Moreover, that condition gives more opportunities to always care to every element of education regarding this pandemic. The policymakers should never wait for new positive cases to arise, as prevention of the disease is better to improve post-pandemic education situations.
