Effendi said that school activities will be introduced at the Victory Plus School in the area of Rawalumbu which will see stricter health protocols be imposed along with classes that will have of its capacity and transparent plastic dividers.
The school is also equipped with a health clinic that is working in partnership with a private hospital to provide rapid health responses.
“The standardization introduced by the Victory School is amazing. It might also be able to be used as a role model for other schools, including public schools,” said Rahmat Effendi.
