Bandung Art Academy upgraded

Wed, 27 Dec 1995

BANDUNG, West Java: Minister of Education and Culture Wardiman Djojonegoro here on Saturday inaugurated the upgrading of the Indonesian Dance Academy (ASTI) into the School of Indonesian Arts (STSI).

The new status now allows the school to award full fledged graduate degrees.

"In fact, based on the government's ruling No. 30/1990, if it fulfills all the requirements, STSI can open a graduate and doctorate program," Wardiman said.

Established in 1970, the school offers students three major study subjects -- dance, theater and the traditional Sundanese art of Karawitan. (pet/mds)
