Anak Krakatau Eruption Forces Temporary Suspension of MBG, Promotes Distance Learning in Affected Regions

Indonesia's National Education Agency (BGN) has announced the temporary suspension of in-person learning (MBG) in regions affected by the eruption of Anak Krakatau volcano. This measure is being implemented to facilitate the transition to distance learning (PJJ) for students in the impacted areas. The eruption has directly impacted educational activities in the region, and BGN prioritizes student safety and the continuity of learning opportunities. The shift to distance learning is expected to continue until the volcanic activity subsides. Anak Krakatau volcano is an active volcano located in the Sunda Strait, which has erupted multiple times in the past, including causing tsunamis. Information gathering and situation assessment are ongoing to determine the scope of the current eruption's impact and its specific effects on education.
