Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has created a dilemma not only between health and the economy but also between health and education. The government must make policies to prevent the spread of Covid-19 which can cause death. The Minister of Education and Culture has adopted a policy of prohibiting face-to-face learning and replacing it with online learning from home. Of course, this policy also has a negative impact on some students and parents, especially those from the lower classes. This paper is a critical study of the negative impacts caused by the policy. The data used are secondary data obtained from various information from various media or directly obtained from the public, especially those who feel disadvantaged by the policy. It seems that the policy is more elitist by using an urban perspective and only benefits those who have economic capacity. The policy also pays less attention to the condition of Indonesia’s territory, which does not all have an internet network. Those who are outside Java as well as rural and remote areas do not get optimal education services. This can result in the possibility of a lost generation from some people.
