During the COVID-19 pandemic, it affected the education system which directed the
learning system to the implementation of distance learning, so that education continued to work to
achieve the functions and objectives of education in Article 3 of Law Number 20 of 2003
concerning the National Education System. The method used in this research is empirical legal
research to see directly and observe the objects and circumstances that exist in the research area
and their legal effectiveness. A learning policy can be said to be effective and successful if it can
realize the functions and objectives of education. The components involved in the learning system
such as educators, materials and curriculum, learning methods, infrastructure and learning
environments are evaluated to see whether or not the educational functions and objectives are
implemented. In online learning during the COVID-19 era, the functions and objectives of
education have not been fully achieved due to obstacles in their implementation. The inhibiting
factors in its application are lack of concentration, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, limited
internet access and limitations in the use of technology. As long as there is no solution to quell the
pandemic, online learning must continue and educator practitioners must increase creativity to
create quality and interesting learning.
