Informal training

Informal training

From Merdeka

I wonder why the Jakarta Office of the Department of Education
and Culture instructed the Principals of the Junior/Senior High
Schools to attend an informal training program in a hotel in
Puncak, West Java, which costs Rp 350,000. Doesn't the Ministry
or the Governor have a special budget for such a project, and why
is it held out of town? Must the schools extort the parents to
finance the training?

There are many places in Jakarta that can be used for carrying
out training programs. A school principal has a lot of problems
to address, and so, he should not be absent from his post for
several days to attend a training course. As a parent I cannot
agree to such a ruling. The funds should be made available from
the state budget.
