New Learning Policies and The Impact of The Covid-19 Pandemic on Education in Indonesia

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread throughout the world that has a very detrimental impact on many parties and paralyzed many sectors, including the education sector. The education system, especially in Indonesia, has become unstable due to the pandemic. New policies in learning have been initiated by the government still encounter any difficulties in their implementation. However, almost all elements of education have been complaining about this. The psychological impact is not only experienced by students, but educators and parents also experience mental health problems caused by the pandemic. Nevertheless, the responsibility cannot be imposed by the government only, but all layers of the existing educational elements must be able to work hand in hand, with the same conditions and unpreparedness. Therefore, education in Indonesia will be able to recover and operate again as it should, even though it must implement a new learning policy to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.Keywords: COVID-19, Education, Learning Policy, Psychology, Indonesia
