National plus schools

National plus schools

I refer to the article The myth of national plus schools
in RI (The Jakarta Post, Sept. 3).

I partly agree with the writer. The problem in our country is
that if there is one good concept (for example High Scope, which
is also about English but much more about a different methodology
of learning) people with some money to invest (or launder) create
bad copies, thus hoping they can jump on the bandwagon and skim
from the demand for different education concepts.

There should be very stringent controls on the accreditation
of schools and consequent quality monitoring. But obviously money
talks and if one pays the right people anything is possible.
