Overcoming of COVID-19 Transmission: The Fulfillment of Right to Health and Education

Abstract

The spread and transmission of the virus is very fast and widespread has become a concern of all people
in the world to prevent the transmission and overcoming of COVID-19. This paper aims to analyze the
legal aspects in overcoming COVID-19 transmission through the application of learning from home, both
for schools and colleges. The research is a normative-legal research with statute, case and conceptual
approaches. The results show that the attention of the government is more focused on economic and health
issues and does not provide a balanced portion of education. Implementation of schooling or lectures from
home is currently only regulated in a Ministerial Circular so that it is only a suggestion. Therefore, in order
to be able to realize the protection and fulfillment of the right to education during Covid-19 pandemic, the
government should issue legislation that becomes a reference for education providers and for the community
so that their right to education is still granted under any circumstances.
