Museno warns educators

JAKARTA (JP): The deputy governor responsible for people's welfare, RS Museno, has reminded the people running education foundations not to let business interests reign in their management.

"Education foundations should not only focus their attention on making money, but they should also think of the quality of education they provide to the students," Museno said while inaugurating the new building for the Yayasan Lembaga Indonesia- Amerika (LIA) here on Monday.

Museno urged the foundation to pay attention to the myriad of social problems, including poverty, being faced by the city administration.

"In Jakarta there are 11 least developed subdistricts where the people are still living below the poverty line," Museno said. He estimated that there are 9,140 poor families living in those areas. (bas)
