        "content": "<p>School fees<\/p>\n<p>From Bisnis Indonesia<\/p>\n<p>As a concerned parent I want to obtain some information and at<br>\nthe same time would like to give some suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>* The President once said that elementary school education is<br>\nfree. But the reality is different. All my children have to pay<br>\nschool fees. The last child, in the sixth grade, has to pay Rp<br>\n500 per month. Is this approved by the educational authority?<\/p>\n<p>* The Parent-Teacher Organization always makes decisions<br>\nrequiring parents to pay such expenses as fees for school<br>\nequipment, building and marking the new academic year. In this<br>\ncase can't the ministry of education and culture issue an<br>\nannouncement concerning school fees that have to be paid by<br>\nparents?<\/p>\n<p>* On school uniforms, many schools sell school uniforms at a<br>\nprice already decided by the office of education and culture, and<br>\nit is an obligation for parents to buy them. Why do school do<br>\nthis business? Actually, it is the parents' job to provide their<br>\nchildren with uniforms. And I would like to suggest to the<br>\neducation ministry to ban the schools from selling uniforms. Also<br>\nall additional apparel like batik shirts, hats, neck ties, belts<br>\netc. should be abolished, because they are not essential and only<br>\nadd to the parents' burden.<\/p>\n<p>AMIR<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
