        "summary": "Professor Susanto from the University of Higher Quranic Sciences in Jakarta has criticised the hybrid learning model, which combines online and in-person sessions, arguing that it inefficiently increases mobility and contradicts energy-saving efforts while compromising educational quality. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, sociology, and pedagogy, he highlights how hybrid systems diminish direct social interactions essential for cognitive development, emotional bonds, and social skills in students. He supports the government's decision to cancel the hybrid school service plan as part of fuel efficiency policies, emphasising the need for comprehensive readiness to avoid long-term harm to students' academic and non-academic growth.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Professor Susanto, Professor at the University of\nHigher Quranic Sciences Jakarta, assesses that hybrid learning, which\ncombines online and face-to-face learning, is inappropriate because it\nstill has the potential to increase mobility inefficiently, thus not\naligning well with energy savings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsidering that the quality of education is the heart of the\nnation\u2019s and country\u2019s future. Do not let fuel efficiency policies\nsacrifice something fundamental for the younger generation,\u201d said\nSusanto via an email message received in Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>From a neuroscience perspective, he continued, direct interaction in\nthe classroom allows for optimal activation of various brain functions,\nincluding attention, emotion, and memory.<\/p>\n<p>Learning that involves social contact, nonverbal expressions, and\nmultisensory experiences has been proven to strengthen students\u2019\nunderstanding and retention.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, screen-based learning in the hybrid system has the\npotential to reduce the quality of cognitive stimulation.<\/p>\n<p>Psychologically, the presence of teachers and peers in the same\nphysical space supports the formation of healthy emotional bonds.\nAccording to Susanto, this is important for enhancing motivation,\nself-confidence, and student engagement in the learning process.<\/p>\n<p>From the sociology of education perspective, school is the primary\nspace for character building and social skills. Daily interactions in\nthe school environment train communication skills, collaboration, and\nconflict resolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reduction in the intensity of physical presence in the hybrid\nsystem can hinder this process,\u201d said the man who serves as the General\nChairman of the All-Indonesia Association of Higher Education Academics\n(Asadiktisi).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, from a pedagogical viewpoint, consistency in learning\nmethods greatly determines academic success. The hybrid model often\npresents challenges in delivering material, classroom management, and\nlearning evaluation, which can create disparities in learning outcomes\namong students.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, health aspects are also a concern. Excessive screen\nexposure in online learning can trigger visual fatigue, sleep\ndisturbances, and reduced physical activity, which ultimately impacts\nstudents\u2019 learning readiness.<\/p>\n<p>Susanto supports the cancellation of the government\u2019s plan to\nimplement a hybrid school service system as part of the fuel (BBM) usage\nefficiency policy.<\/p>\n<p>He reminds that the hybrid school policy requires comprehensive\nreadiness, encompassing operational aspects, infrastructure\npreparedness, and calculating the long-term impacts on students\u2019\nacademic and non-academic development.<\/p>",
