Nanti kalau sore ada yang menggunakan untuk ulangan, baru kita nyalakan,” terangnya.

Mas Abu assessed that during this pandemic, children’s interest in learning was getting bigger. This is a good time to enter knowledge and children have plenty of time to study. During this pandemic children can also learn many things. “Maybe you want to learn cooking, English, the Koran, whatever is fine. So that when the pandemic is over, you have more knowledge. The point must be healthy and cheerful, so that children are not under pressure. Because it is not good that they cannot meet their friends or teachers, ”he explained.
Meanwhile, Wiji Sulastri, Head of the Task Force for the Protection of Women and Children (PPA) of Pakelan Village, said he was very pleased that the Kediri City Government responded well by directly inspecting the free WiFi facilities to support children’s learning activities. “Because many parents complain.

Maya. one of the students of SMPK Santa Maria was grateful for the free WiFi facility for studying. Free WiFi is very helpful when studying online. “Even though it uses a lot, it’s still smooth. The cost of parents to buy quotas is reduced, ”he said.
