Students protest teacher's transfer<\/p>\n
TANGERANG: Around 1,300 students of SMUN 2 state high school
\nmarched to Tangerang municipality education agency on Tuesday,
\nabout one kilometer away from their school, to protest the
\nagency's decision to transfer seven of their teachers.<\/p>\n
\"Losing seven qualified teachers at the same time makes us
\nscared that our image as one of the best schools will fade,\" said
\none of the students.<\/p>\n
The seven teachers -- who were transferred to three different
\nschools -- concluded that they had surely done something wrong as
\nthe notification of the move was so sudden.<\/p>\n
But, the head of the agency, Harry Mulya Zain, said that the
\nseven teacher's transfer was a routine and normal procedure.<\/p>\n
However, he promised to review the decision with Tangerang
\nMayor M. Thamrin soon. -- JP<\/p>",
