Bogor mayor warns officials on schools

BOGOR: A circular from Mayor Diani Boediarto has become the talk of city officials, especially those with children about to enter new schools.

All agency heads and civil servants received the circular on school admissions on June 24.

Toward the end of the circular, Diani told officials "not to enroll your children at schools whose admission requirements they cannot meet".

Acknowledging that this practice has been common in the past, Diani also warned schools not to accept children who did not meet admission requirements, or to accept money from parents to enroll their children.

"Our office will also distribute this circular to residents," the head of the administration's information office, Dewi Kurnia, said on Sunday. -- Antara
