Hundreds of schools in ruin

Hundreds of schools in ruin

BANDUNG, West Java: Regent HU Hatta Djatipermana lamented the
300 primary school buildings which are in various stages of
disrepair in Bandung while the administration's funds were so
limited only 25 to 30 of them could be repaired a year.

Antara reported the regent as saying most of the wrecked
buildings were over 25 years old and needed to be immediately
repaired lest their condition deteriorated further.

"It's the public, developers and industrialists, who should
help rebuild the schools," the regent said. (swe)
