Darul Ulum school becomes favorite

SURABAYA, East Java: The Darul Ulum Moslem senior high
boarding school in Jombang has become a favorite institution with
applicants flocking from many areas outside East Java.

The school, jointly organized by the Darul Ulum Moslem
boarding school and the government's Agency for Assessment and
Application of Technology (BPPT), will only take 80 students this
year under a very tight selection process.

The school's patron Muh. As'd Umar told Antara on Wednesday
that among the school applicants was a student from Bali with the
highest final evaluation test scores (NEM) of 49.

As of Wednesday, there were 60 students applying to enroll for
the school. They come from Bali, Central and West Java and also
Jakarta, he said.

Umar said that in addition to religious teachings, students of
the school are given ample time to study subjects on science and
technology. (par)
