Jakarta will resume in-person classes on Wednesday, Sept. 9, after volcanic ash from Mount Anak Krakatau decreased across the capital.
The Jakarta Education Office said face-to-face learning would restart across all educational institutions while schools continued to prioritize the health and safety of students and staff. Schools had held remote classes on Monday and Tuesday after ash from the eruption spread into Jakarta.
The office urged everyone at schools to wear masks when outdoors and limit outdoor activities. It also advised schools to keep doors and windows tightly closed and to clean ash by wetting it first or using a damp cloth.
Mount Anak Krakatau has been erupting since Friday night. The ash affected areas including Lampung, Bengkulu, Banten, West Java and Jakarta.
