Referring to the Indonesian government’s mandate, which aims to slow down the Covid-19 virus spread, YUM's management decided to close all activities involving gatherings of large crowds. Since March, Indonesian students throughout the country, including at YUM's Preschool, began to learn from home.
Sadly not every student enjoys the privilege of learning from home. Internet access and digital devices are hardly on the minds of those parents who struggle everyday to provide food on their table for the family. Another alternative resource for learning is the national television broadcast, which is also next to impossible for those who do not own television at home.
YUM Preschool teachers compiled a learning package to cover every two weeks of school activities. The package consists of learning and assignment books. YUM's team managed to deliver the package to homes of students who lived far away from school. The students also receive hygiene kits that include masks and soaps besides information leaflets about Covid-19 and its prevention. With the support and cooperation of parents, YUM Preschools supervise their student's activities through any medium possible such as a picture, a video or even verbal communication. The teachers also are open to giving any advice that parents may need as they find it challenging with their children learning from home. YUM realizes the importance of coordinating with parents about students’ education and to continue to foster it in any condition.
With your continued and kind support, YUM will be able to provide uninterrupted access to learning from home for all those mentioned above. We realize it’s uncertain times for everyone due to the covid situation. But we hope that you will continue to support us, as these preschoolers need our helpnow more than ever. Thank you.
