Aceh badly needs 5,856 teachers

BANDA ACEH, Aceh: Aceh Governor Syamsuddin Mahmud says that
the province is still in need of 5,856 elementary school teachers
because the appointment of part-time teachers is prohibited by
the government.

"Aceh still requires 3,850 regular teachers and 2,006 sports
and art teachers," he was quoted by Antara as saying during a
hearing with the provincial legislative council last week.

Currently there are 3,134 elementary school buildings in Aceh,
with 517,629 students and 23,636 teachers, he said, adding that
the province also required 908 school guards. (imn)
