The COVID-19pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, leading to
temporaryclosures of schools, universities and colleges. Similarly, all schools
andeducational institutions are temporarily closed in Indonesia to reduce
thespread of COVID-19. School closures impacted not only students, teachers
andfamilies but have far-reaching economic and social consequences
