Abstract
This paper revisited the relevance of returning students home's national
policy while avoiding the dangers of coronavirus 2019 in the school
environment. Concerning this policy, there has been no medical certainty
stating that the danger of the Coronavirus spread among schools is that
the government must issue policies that are without good reason as the
safest solution. On the other hand, the policy of returning students to
study at home also raises some doubts. Among other things, some parties
do not understand students' policy from home, especially teachers,
parents, and the general public. This study intended to examine various
literature on the suitability of government policies regarding school
closures that have been running for almost one year. The data were then
analyzed using a descriptive phenomenological approach to obtain
medical reasons related to the risk of spreading the virus among school
adolescents. Finally, we found that the government policy to repatriate
students is still motivated by excessive concern about the transmission of
the epidemic among students in the school environment. Until now, the
government has not had a strong reason to close schools to avoid the
virus. On the other hand, this policy may impact on student learning and
other socio-economic disadvantages. Thus, the government will consider
these findings in evaluating policies related to overcoming the dangers of
the pandemic in the school environment, which consider the
disadvantages of education.
