Australian teachers in Flores

MAUMERE, East Nusa Tenggara: Australian Volunteers
International will soon send English language teachers to several
junior and senior high schools on the island of Flores.

The head of Australian Volunteers International's
representative office in East Nusa Tenggara, Leon Jones told The
Jakarta Post on Tuesday that the project was the realization of
an agreement made by his organization with the provincial office
of the Ministry of National Education.

The teachers would arrive this month and be based in five
regencies: Ngada, Manggarai, Enda, Sika and East Flores, Jones
said.

Each regency will receive two teachers, who will be working in
Flores for one year on a contract basis.

"The contract could be extended based on their demand," Jones
said, adding that in the future his organization might send
teachers of Chinese or Arabic. (54)
