Chinese in school curriculum

Chinese in school curriculum

From Media Indonesia

The recent government decision to allow tourist brochures with
Chinese characters is too superficial.

Looking at regional realities the government should also
include Japanese characters in its decision judging from the
economic potential of these two nations.

I suggest the inclusion of the two languages in senior high
school curriculum as an option on top of the compulsory English.
An emphasis on conversation should be given to the two Asian
languages.

Although we may encounter a shortage of teachers in the
initial stages, mastery of a foreign language is always helpful.
