Bali orders remote work and online learning from 15 to 17 October

Denpasar — Bali Governor Wayan Koster ordered government offices, state-owned and regional-owned companies, and public and private education providers across Bali to work or teach online from 15 to 17 October 2026, according to Bali Post and Detik Bali reports published on 14 October.

Why it matters: From 15 to 17 October 2026, affected public institutions, state-owned and regional-owned companies, and education providers across Bali are expected to work or teach online.

The measure followed long queues at fuel stations. The governor said the temporary reduction in travel would support efforts to speed up fuel distribution, while the education provision was intended to maintain learning during the fuel shortage, Bali Post reported.

The governor’s instruction covers vertical government agencies, provincial and regency or city governments, state-owned enterprises and regional-owned enterprises. Schools and other education units were asked to conduct learning online while maintaining the effectiveness of instruction under their respective rules.

Bali Post reported that fuel queues were still visible on 14 October, despite an earlier coordination meeting between Koster and Pertamina President Director Simon Aloysius Mantiri. Pertamina said additional measures included gradually operating fuel depots and stations around the clock, adding operational staff and coordinating with the military and police to support deliveries and traffic management.

Detik Bali reported that the policy also led local governments to apply the education measure in their areas. In Badung, online learning was reported for early-childhood, primary and junior-secondary students during the three-day period.
